Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki will be going full circle next spring, and he’s looking forward to it.
Suzuki and left-hander Shota Imanaga will be heading back home to Japan when the Cubs open the 2025 MLB season with a two-game series March 18-19 against the Dodgers at the Tokyo Dome.
‘‘When I was a child, I had the opportunity to go watch the MLB game in Japan, and I never thought I’d be the one to be able to open the season in Japan as a major-leaguer,’’ Suzuki said through an interpreter before the Cubs’ 5-2 loss Friday to the Diamondbacks.
