Watch: Matt Shaw Flashes Leather Against Padres

Matt Shaw is likely to be the starting third baseman for the Cubs this season, although he won’t be making the trip to Japan. That’s due to a minor oblique injury he endured earlier this Spring, that he’s now fully recovered from.

He just made one heck of a nice play against the Padres in Mesa, Arizona.
