North Side Territory: a Chicago Cubs podcast
Cubs give Matt Shaw another chance to show he belongs
20 May 2025
The Cubs didn’t really hesitate last month when they demoted Matt Shaw, the club’s Opening Day third baseman and top prospect heading into the season. After a reset at Triple-A Iowa, Shaw is now back in The Show. What was the message sent to Shaw? How did his swing get so out of whack? Who else is out there if the Cubs want to make a move at the trade deadline? The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney get into all of those topics, plus more on the shaky state of the bullpen, and the injuries that are beginning to pile up around a first-place team.Download the HOF app and enter code FOUL to get a 7-day free trial + 50% off your first month at hofbets.comGet 20% off your first Slab Pack or card purchase by going to ArenaClub.com/FOUL and use code FOUL.
