Matt Shaw surge isn’t enough to kill Cubs’ Eugenio Suarez pursuit

It seems that with every home run Chicago Cubs rookie third baseman Matt Shaw hits since returning from play after the All-Star break, it brings the question of how intently the Cubs should be pursuing Arizona Diamondbacks' All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez. The timing was almost comedic on Saturday night as Shaw hit a two-run home run during a pivotal moment in the Cubs' victory over the White Sox, nearly at the same time a report confirmed the team was one of the most interested suitors for Suarez.

Shaw used the All-Star break to make mechanical adjustments to his batting stance, and the early results are paying off.
