Matt Shaw, the No. 1 prospect in the Chicago Cubs organization, is ready to make his MLB debut in Tokyo and begin what he and the team hope is a long and prosperous career.
¡°It¡¯s super exciting,¡± Shaw told The Japan Times during the team¡¯s practice on Monday, one day before the Cubs open the MLB season against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Tokyo Dome.
¡°It¡¯s such a great opportunity and something I¡¯ve been looking forward to for a while. So it¡¯s just great to be here. We¡¯re having a ton of fun. We¡¯re enjoying Japan, and we¡¯re really excited for the games.¡±
