Chicago Cubs Offseason Focus: Pitching Upgrades and Third Base Options
The Chicago Cubs have made pitching their top priority this offseason, with a focus on both the bullpen and starting rotation. While the team seemed set with position players, there have been recent reports of the Cubs exploring options at third base. They have been linked to veteran sluggers Eugenio Suarez and Alex Bregman, as well as Japanese imports Munetaka Murakami and Kazuma Okamoto. This raises questions about the future of the current projected starting third baseman, Matt Shaw, who showed promise in his rookie season but may face competition for his position. If a new third baseman is brought in, Shaw could still be a valuable asset to the team, potentially serving as a super sub off the bench or providing insurance at second base. Shaw's versatility and potential could also make him an attractive trade piece for the Cubs in the future. Whether he remains in Chicago or moves elsewhere, there is a future for Matt Shaw in baseball.
