Michael Busch emerged as a top prospect for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but he was traded to the Chicago Cubs during the offseason due to a roster crunch. With the presence of Shohei Ohtani, it also would have been impossible for the 26-year-old to get at-bats as the designated hitter. The Cubs gave Busch a clear path to playing time at first base and he has made the most of his opportunity.
