1 month agoChicago Cubs top prospect Matt Shaw will receive a "long look" at third base in spring training, according to general manager Jed Hoyer. "He has to earn that job, I'm not going to gift him that on a conference call in the middle of December," Hoyer said. Michael Busch, who served as the team's primary first baseman in 2024, doesn't sound like an option to slide across the diamond to play third, which only increases the odds of Shaw winning the Opening Day third base job after the club traded Isaac Paredes to the Houston Astros last week. The 23-year-old would be worth selecting in single-year fantasy drafts if he wins the starting job in spring training given his overall upside. Shaw was impressive in 121 combined games with Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa in 2024, slashing .284/.379/.488 with an .867 OPS, 21 homers, 71 RBI and 31 steals in 523 plate appearances. He has 25-homer, 25-steal potential in the big leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
