Cubs contracts: An extension proposal for Seiya Suzuki 
I like Seiya Suzuki and what he’s brought to the Cubs. He’s been worth 11.1 bWAR in his four years with the team, about 3 WAR per season. He will hit his 100th home run as a Cub next year, most likely (almost certainly, as he’s averaged 22 per season).

Alex Bregman News / Chicago Cubs on SI / October 30
Why Alex Bregman Shouldn't Be Cubs Top Third Base Free Agency Target
If Kyle Tucker leaves in free agency, the Chicago Cubs will need to try at least to replace his production in the lineup. While the most obvious way to do this would be to try and sign (or trade for) another outfielder because that's where Tucker played on defense, Chicago could also make a play for a top talent at another position.
