The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma reported that “a [Seiya] Suzuki trade [seems] unlikely” as the offseason goes on.
Sharma notes that the Cubs appear intent on trading one of Cody Bellinger or Seiya Suzuki, most likely to add starting pitching, and with there being legitimate interest in Cody Bellinger across the league, the Cubs seem likely to hold onto Suzuki. The 30-year-old has battled injuries since joining the Cubs, but he has been a strong producer and has a cheaper contract than Bellinger, which makes him the preferred option to remain in Chicago.
