Cubs Have a Kevin Alcántara Problem

[Nolo]

I remember he was touted as a 30-homerun upside prospect. He's athletic, has the star/Tatis look, and has the physical capability at 6'6 (could definitely bulk up) and he's 24 years old. What's the future of him on the Cubs? A permanent bench player, trade bait, fourth OF, platoon guy, or a 2027 starting corner OF?

A lot of fans are penciling in Matt Shaw in the OF at this point, but what about Alcantara? I know he's struggled with chasing pitches and some discipline, but you know who else had that problem - PCA. They're about the same age too. What if PCA took Kevin under his wing?
