Cubs Weigh Potential Matt Shaw Trade Amid Red Sox Interest

The Chicago Cubs are facing trade inquiries for infielder Matt Shaw, particularly from the Boston Red Sox, who are desperate for infield help. Shaw, a Massachusetts native and former Red Sox fan, had a strong second half in his rookie season and showed surprising skill at third base. Despite his potential as a "supersub" and a high-ranking prospect with five years of team control, the Cubs would demand a significant return, possibly a major-league ready pitcher like Payton Tolle or Connelly Early, to consider parting with him.
