The Chicago Cubs are contemplating their options for outfielder Seiya Suzuki ahead of the trade deadline. Suzuki, in the final season of a five-year, $85 million contract, has 10 home runs and a.772 OPS this year. Analysts suggest the Cubs may test Suzuki's market if they fall out of contention, as teams seek power-hitting outfielders. If the Cubs remain in the playoff race, they could opt to retain Suzuki, especially if they intend to extend his contract.
