Despite fluctuating performance, the Chicago Cubs are considering a third base overhaul as they look to the future. Matt Shaw, who struggled offensively at the start of the season, may return to the MLB by 2025, while Jon Berti's versatility at multiple infield positions could come into play if the Cubs seek a third baseman before the trade deadline. The New York Yankees, facing a second base challenge with Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the IL, may find Berti an appealing option given his 2024 performance with the Cubs and previous stint with them. Berti could serve as a temporary fix while the Cubs explore moves to bolster their bullpen with potential trades involving Yankees pitchers Yerry De Los Santos or Brent Headrick.
