For SS/2B prospect Zach Short. The guy draws a pretty high amount of walks so not sure how he's gonna fit in with our free swinging team philosophy.

Seriously tho, pretty good get for Maybin.

that's great. Getting rid of him for anything is a plus.

Zack Short was the Cubs? 21st ranked prospect according to FanGraphs.
In 41 games, he struggled against Triple-A pitching last year, striking out 31.3 percent of the time.

In Zack Short, the Tigers get a major-league ready utility infielder. He?s shown excellent plate discipline skills throughout his time in the Cubs organization, though his strikeout rates have ballooned as he reached the higher minor league levels. Here?s Eric Longenhagen?s report from this year?s Cubs prospect list:

Short struck out at an alarming rate last year, much more than he ever has before (32% last year, 21% career). Some of that may have been due to a smaller sample of at-bats, as he missed much of 2019 with a hand injury.
He has good ball/strike recognition, hits the ball in the air consistently, and is a capable defender all over the infield, including at short. He?s now on the Cubs 40-man and I think he?s a big league ready utility man.

The Tigers already have a number of these types of utility infielders on their major league roster in Willi Castro and Harold Castro. Short will probably get an opportunity to differentiate himself from the two Castros this year with the deep 28-man roster.
