Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson stopped on his way to the batting cages Monday afternoon to chat with first-round pick Matt Shaw.

“He’s a really, really good guy,” Shaw said. “Someone that I’m going to definitely look up to a little more now that I’ve gotten to know him – I mean, I’ve only had two conversations with him. But I look forward to getting to know him a little bit more and watch how he goes about his business.
