Matt Shaw: Future Cubs Third Baseman or Spring Training Mirage?
The Cubs have made it clear: third base is Matt Shaw’s to lose. But is he truly ready to seize the Major League spot, or are the Cubs setting him up for a potential fall? Shaw’s rapid ascent through the minors and impressive international performance paint a rosy picture. Yet, can his success translate to the big leagues in 2025? The front office talks about a safety net, bringing in Bruján, Workman, Cowles and potentially more. Is this a vote of confidence or a sign of doubt in their top prospect?
What kind of pressure does this put on a young player like Shaw? Is the Cubs’ aggressive approach the right move, or could it backfire? Let’s hear your thoughts: is Shaw the real deal, or will he need more seasoning in the minors? Weigh in on whether the Cubs are handling his development correctly and who you see as the Cubs’ opening day third baseman. Is Shaw a long-term solution at third, or just a placeholder until a more established player becomes available?
