Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong joins exclusive 40-40 club

On September 24, Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong became the seventh player in MLB history to achieve a 40-40 season, hitting 40 home runs and stealing 40 bases. Despite this achievement, reports indicate that Crow-Armstrong's status as the frontrunner for the National League MVP is already secured, with Shohei Ohtani unlikely to contest that position following injury setbacks. Crow-Armstrong's WAR numbers significantly surpass Ohtani's, solidifying his value to the Cubs. The Cubs are set to face the Boston Red Sox in a four-game series following their matchup with the Miami Marlins, giving Crow-Armstrong further opportunities to enhance his performance statistics.
