The Chicago Cubs' third baseman, Matt Shaw, is highlighted in a mock trade scenario involving the Boston Red Sox. Shaw, struggling for starts due to competition from veterans Alex Bregman and Nico Hoerner, could benefit from a trade. The proposed deal would see Shaw head to Boston in exchange for closer Aroldis Chapman and pitcher Brayan Bello. This potential trade arises as the Cubs aim to bolster their bullpen amid a competitive season, currently holding a 34-33 record.
