I come bearing good news: Seiya Suzuki, one of the most exciting players on the free agent market, did not sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers or the San Diego Padres.
I also come bearing bad news: Suzuki did not sign with the San Francisco Giants, either.
Suzuki instead chose to sign with the Chicago Cubs, agreeing to a five-year, $85 million deal with a full-no trade clause, which will put the Cubs spending at around $100 after the posting fee.
The Giants interest in Suzuki had been reported for a long time, and they were one of a handful of teams still in the running for the slugger.
