"Shaw is the guy the Cubs should/will trade in the short term. Yes, he offers versatility and a bat that projects to get better, but he needs regular playing time."
"Shaw's value will only drop if he sees a reduction in at-bats once Seiya Suzuki returns. Hoerner is the clutch bat with the defensive chops to play all over the field."
"Shaw is not an outfielder, and hoping he'll grasp the nuances of the position as he did at third base last year might be a tall ask."
Matt Shaw is a versatile player for the Cubs, but he needs regular playing time to maximize his value. He performed well at third base and is better suited for second base. Teams like the Mariners, Angels, and Yankees may be interested in trading for him. Nico Hoerner is a strong player who can fill multiple positions, while Shaw's future value may decline if he receives fewer at-bats. Shaw struggles as an outfielder and lacks the offensive power for a corner spot.
