The Chicago Cubs have long been connected to a trade for Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcántara. One MLB insider recently added more fuel to the fire.

The Chicago Cubs sit in first place in the NL Central, but they reportedly won't be satisfied without some postseason success this year.

The fact the Cubs have been able to survive this long in the starting rotation without them speaks volumes to how productive the other parts of the team have been. A lot of credit needs to go to Matthew Boyd as well,

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is in the middle of a breakout season and set another record before the All-Star break.

Crow-Armstrong first went deep with a two-run shot off Chris Paddack in the third inning, crushing a 93.5 mph fastball left out over the plate to center field. After walking in the fifth, the Cubs center fielder led off the seventh by lifting an Anthony Misiewicz curveball in the middle of the strike zone to the right-center field seats.

With two home runs that fueled an 8-1 Cubs victory over the Twins on Thursday, Pete Crow-Armstrong recorded his fifth multi-homer game in his 92nd game this season.
