PCA’s 2026 Breakout: A Cubs Season Rewriting Franchise Records

Pete Crow‑Armstrong’s 2026 first half has him at roughly .291/.386/.531 with a 153 wRC+ and about 6.0 fWAR by the All‑Star break, making it one of the Cubs’ most valuable seasons. Projections push his final tally toward 8.5 WAR, potentially ranking among the Cubs’ top seasons by fWAR and nearing the franchise’s best marks, though likely short of Hornsby’s 11.0 WAR in 1929. In short, we’re witnessing a historically great Cubs season.

Cubs Lock In Nico Hoerner With Six-Year Extension

The Chicago Cubs signed infielder Nico Hoerner to a six-year extension that runs through 2032 (starting in 2027); terms weren’t disclosed. Hoerner, 29, has been a core contributor with strong defense at second, speed on the bases, and a contact-heavy bat, posting solid offensive and fWAR outputs since 2022. The deal solidifies the Cubs’ core as they navigate 2026–27 roster turnover and consider future roles for prospects like Matt Shaw, while already-committed stars Swanson, Bregman and PCA remain in place.
