The Chicago Cubs called Triple-A Iowa’s third goal on a series of three games in Miami on Miami on Miamo Tribo Tribune on Monday.
Manager Craig Counsell hinted at the move Sunday after the Cubs swept the White Sox during the opening series of the City series in Wrigley Field, and he will be official on Monday.
After Shaw struck two circuits for Iowa on Thursday, Counsell was invited to find out if the best classified prospect of the team had proved that he was ready.
“Listen, we try to win matches and we try to put a player in good position to succeed,” said Counsell. “So, I don’t think there is a certainty in all of this. There is a time, I hope we will be able to say:” Yes, let’s give a chance again. “”
Shaw struck two other circuits on Friday evening, and managing director Carter Hawkins told the gallery on Saturday that Shaw would be “earlier than late”.
Now we will see if some minor adjustments that have led to success in Triple A can result in the majors. Shaw struck .172 in 18 games with the Cubs after making the opening list, with 18 sticks in the stick in 58 at-bats. He had a short spring formation due to an oblique problem which delayed his start, but he was thrown into the departure formation after the Cubs did not sign the free agent Alex Bregman.
After his demotion, Shaw struck .286 with six circuits, 14 products produced and a .970 OPS in 24 games at Iowa, and his recent wave of power showed that he was ready for a second chance in the majors.
The Cubs sent Pete Crow-Armstrong Down last year after the central defender had difficulties offensively. Crow-Armstrong quickly returned and took a few months to understand things before flourishing in the second half of 2024.
Crow-Armstrong is now an all-star of the probable national league and a most precious player candidate. The Cubs hope that Lightning strikes twice with Shaw, that Baseball America ranked n ° 35 on his list of the 100 best prospects before the 2025 season.
The inner field player Nicky Lopez should be exchanged or designated for assignment when the list of the list is formalized. Lopez is one of the four players who have shot the third goal since Shaw’s demotion.
Gage Workman was DFA’D and treated at the White Sox, who then released him. Vidal Brujan and Jon Berti will remain as a bench players, Shaw should obtain most of the departures in the third place.
