| Good morning, Chicago. Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong sounds uncertain about potentially participating in next year's Home Run Derby at Wrigley Field. Wrigley will host its first All-Star Game since 1990 when the Midsummer Classic comes to the North Side in 2027. Last time, Cubs legend and Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg won the
event at the Friendly Confines. As tempting as it would be to do it in front of his home crowd, Crow-Armstrong admitted Monday that he isn
't sure if he's the right type of hitter for the event. Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong poses on the red carpet for the All-Star Game on July 14, 2026, in Philadelphia.

"If (the Nationals') James Wood's talking about fatigue and all that stuff
then I should probably think long and hard about whether or not to do it." Twenty-four hours later, while standing at his locker in the Phillies' home clubhouse before the All-Star Game, Crow-Armstrong conceded he had revisited his indecisiveness about
doing the derby at Wrigley following his initial comments. "I was just like, man, I feel like it's more something that I owe to Cubs fans and all that, if they want to see me in there," Crow-Armstrong said.
