| 3/05/25 | Prospect News: Alan Roden The Thinker or Matt Shaw Nuff. Until yesterday, Cubs 3B Matt Shaw has been one of those strange cases where a rookie could be acquired in redraft leagues for very little currency, relative to his skillset and opportunity. This discount can be attributed to the relatively recent clearout of Cubs’ third base options and the fact that Shaw has been injured and hadn’t played this spring. During Tuesday’s game, however, Shaw looked 100 percent, smoking an easy looking single to the opposite field in his first at bat and stroking another single in his second. On the bases that second time, he got a good read off the bat and sprinted to score from first base only to run into Michael Busch at third base when Busch pulled up after rounding third and retreated in spring training style. I mention the sprint because Shaw is clearly feeling good and pushing to make the team. Source: https://razzball.com/prospect-news-alan-roden-the-... |

| 1/06/25 | Chicago Cubs Top Prospect Seen As Serious Contender For NL Rookie of Year.

Jed Hoyer talked about the 23-year-old last month and said he will have to earn the job, but Shaw will have every opportunity to seize control.

The Cubs acquired super utility man Vidal Brujan who could take over at third when needed, but the latest report from Mark Feinsand of MLB.com suggests they are looking to fortify the infield group even further.
