Chicago Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki still is mulling whether to represent his country in the World Baseball Classic.
Team Japan manager Hideki Kuriyama said Tuesday at the winter meetings that the team will give Suzuki as much time as possible to decide — even if that means his decision lingers into February.
“I’m really just waiting on his response,” Kuriyama said through an interpreter. “It’s been a rocky year with everything — health concerns, playing time, everything considered. Really we’re waiting on the club, we’re waiting on everything on his side of the response.
