The Cubs know that the top dog in the National League is the Los Angeles Dodgers, as they look for a three-peat.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/chicago-cubs-insiders-alex-bregmans-value\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cubs<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<p>Crow-Armstrong was the cover for the newest edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcchicago.com\/news\/sports\/mlb\/chicago-cubs\/pete-crow-armstrong-compares-cubs-dodgers-fans-in-chicago-magazine-interview\/3896636\/?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=facebook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Chicago Magazine<\/a>, getting a feature. In there, he took a shot at the Dodgers, well at least their fans.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our March issue is on newsstands now!

He then praised Cubs fans for supporting him while then taking a shot at Dodgers fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just an incredible city. The people are great,\u201d he said. \u201cThey give a s\u2014. They aren\u2019t just baseball fans who go to the game like Dodgers fans to take pictures or whatever. They are paying attention, they care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crow-Armstrong isn\u2019t wrong, either. It\u2019s also good to add a little spice between two teams who should be competing for the top spot in the National League this season.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear Crow Armstrong loves the city of Chicago. He\u2019s out at numerous sporting events and hanging out with Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams as well. While Crow-Armstrong\u00a0 is on his rookie deal still, he hopes to get a deal done to keep him here for the long term.<\/p>\n<p>And the Cubs would be very smart to get that done.<\/p>\n<p>                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%202560%201707'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Chicago Cubs: Insiders shed further light on Alex Bregman\u2019s value\" class=\"post-image\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771589716_671_USATSI_28210749-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                        Chicago Cubs: Insiders shed further light on Alex Bregman\u2019s value<br \/>\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/chicago-cubs-insiders-alex-bregmans-value\/\" class=\"read-more\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\tFor More Great Chicago Sports Content<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKMLGY9QowgMXbAg?hl=en-US&amp;gl=US&amp;ceid=US%3Aen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"349\" height=\"108\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20349%20108'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770898591_673_image-10.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get the latest Chicago sports news, analysis, and breaking stories on the Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, Cubs, White Sox, Sky, and more!
