Cubs Are Dumping Same Player Twice within Two Months

The Chicago Cubs are reportedly calling up top prospect Matt Shaw, who is expected to be in the starting lineup Monday night against the Miami Marlins. The big question now is who will Shaw replace on the 26-man roster and although the move hasn’t been made official MLB insider Jon Heyman has a pretty good idea.

According to Heyman, 30-year-old infielder Nicky Lopez did not travel with the Cubs to Florida and it appears as though the Cubs will be dumping the veteran for the second time within the past two months.
