Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer emphasized the team's strong belief in rookie third baseman Matt Shaw heading into the 2026 season, downplaying rumors linking the club to free agents like Alex Bregman. Shaw showed significant improvement in the second half of 2025 after an early demotion, posting an .839 OPS and earning National League Gold Glove finalist honors. While the Cubs prioritize pitching upgrades this offseason, Hoyer indicated no urgent need to pursue external options at third base.
