World Series.

That would be at least one World Series beyond the 2026 season.

Beyond the work stoppage.

I think they're trying to just be prepared for whatever lies ahead.

It's not going to be the best thing for Shaw.

Well, hold on.

I don't know what Matt Shaw's mental makeup is, because let's be honest, he hasn't had a lot of adversity before last season in baseball.

He had just been dominant in baseball.

And so I wonder...

If he can overcome the idea of today you play second base, tomorrow you come off the bench, the next day you're in right field.

I am intrigued and interested to see how he handles that as a player.

But one thing he needs to do, regardless of where he is in the field, is not take his...

fielding to the plate with him and hit, go back to hitting like you were hitting before last season with the Cubs.

Yeah, I know it was.

And I think La Stella, too, actually starting at third base against the Pittsburgh Pirates because of his ability to hit 98 with movement.

But yeah, I mean, the whole thing is... And somebody's texting here from the 312.

Can Shaw become Zobrist?

Of course, that's the dream.

But Zobrist...

Zobrist becoming Zobrist was over many years before he became this, obviously, this super utility guy who was a made man, essentially.
