MESA, Ariz. – Less than 48 hours after the Cubs brass met with Seiya Suzuki’s camp, the Japanese star had made his decision. He was going to Chicago.
Suzuki reportedly agreed to a five-year, $85 million contract with the Cubs. The Athletic was the first to report the terms of the deal, which is pending a physical, on Wednesday morning. The Cubs will also pay $14,625,000 as a posting fee to the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Japan’s Central League, according to the Associated Press.
