Cubs weigh PCA-Alcantara platoon as offense struggles early

Cubs weigh PCA-Alcantara platoon as offense struggles early

After a Sunday walk-off vs. the Pirates, the Cubs’ offense remains a concern as they head into a brutal April schedule (Phillies, Mets, Dodgers, Padres). Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is hitting .203/.242/.271, fueling talk of a PCA-Alcantara platoon, but many insist the idea is a knee-jerk overreaction. The piece argues the Cubs won’t platoon PCA, given his fresh extension and historic 30/30 season, and notes his value when he gets on base even as he’s adjusting, while pointing to other options like Michael Busch, Michael Conforto and Matt Shaw. It emphasizes avoiding disruption to PCA’s rhythm and using Sunday’s spark as momentum rather than a quick fix. }
