Cubs and Seiya Suzuki Not Discussing an Extension Yet?
The Chicago Cubs have not engaged in extension conversations with outfielder Seiya Suzuki, according to Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times. Suzuki is nearing the end of a five-year, $85 million deal, which was the first contract that he signed stateside. He slashed .245/.326/.478 with a career-high 32 home runs at the age of 30 last year, adding 123 wRC+ with a 10.9% walk rate and a 25.2% strikeout rate. When asked about a potential extension with the Cubs, Suzuki said (via an interpreter), "I want to work hard and perform well, and hopefully they say yes." Chicago also has an important decision to make regarding Ian Happ, who is slated for free agency next offseason. It seems unlikely that the Cubs would bring both back, especially since outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara appears ready to take on an everyday role in the majors.
