DALLAS – Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki “would consider” a trade, depending on the landing spot, his agent Joel Wolfe told reporters at the winter meetings in Dallas Tuesday.
Suzuki has a full no-trade clause, but if a trade came together, he could choose to waive it. Wolfe said he and president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer had a conversation on the topic on Monday night.
“He told me what teams they’ve been talking to,” Wolfe said. “I don’t think he wants to trade Seiya, but there may be a scenario where he feels like he has a deal that he can’t say no to. So he’s talked to us about what teams Seiya would consider. And it’s a small universe of where Seiya would consider going. Seiya is a very strongly opinionated guy. So I could see where that might happen, but it didn’t sound like it was necessarily likely.”
