As the Chicago Cubs prepare for Spring Training, the excitement is high for this season and the potential of a deep playoff run in the Windy City. The Cubs know that the top dog in the National League is the Los Angeles Dodgers, as they look for a three-peat.
The Cubs have the chance to compete with the Dodgers due to a very good rotation and a talented lineup. At the center of that lineup is Pete Crow-Armstrong who enjoyed a breakout year in 2025. Now, PCA is hoping to be a spark again this season and he decided to shake things up a little bit ahead of the campaign.
Crow-Armstrong was the cover for the newest edition of Chicago Magazine, getting a feature. In there, he took a shot at the Dodgers, well at least their fans.

As part of the feature, Crow-Armstrong talked about his struggles in the second half of the season. He then praised Cubs fans for supporting him while then taking a shot at Dodgers fans.
“It’s just an incredible city. The people are great,” he said. “They give a s—. They aren’t just baseball fans who go to the game like Dodgers fans to take pictures or whatever. They are paying attention, they care.”
Crow-Armstrong isn’t wrong, either. It’s also good to add a little spice between two teams who should be competing for the top spot in the National League this season.
It’s clear Crow Armstrong loves the city of Chicago. He’s out at numerous sporting events and hanging out with Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams as well. While Crow-Armstrong is on his rookie deal still, he hopes to get a deal done to keep him here for the long term.
And the Cubs would be very smart to get that done.
