No thank you. It's time to flex the farm system muscle. USA baseball seems to think that Shaw can easily play 3B, baseball media for some reason doesn't think that he can.
It's unnecessary though. And even a low-cost flyer is going to cost several million dollars. Money that could be better spent on a couple low-cost flyer bullpen options with minor league options available.
I understand. I’ve also watched Moncada play, and know we don’t need to waste money on a guy that can’t stay healthy or be productive. There have to be better options than him. And no, it’s not just because he played on the South side.
I wonder if Paul DeJong would be willing to try the backup role. Could cover most of the IF and be playable insurance in a few spots for a time as Shaw protection.

I think you're misunderstanding what a low-cost flyer is. The whole point is that it doesn't block anyone, but gives you extra coverage.
