I was about to say....we can always slide over to the south side to see some "good" baseball. Of course, that always comes to a screeching halt after game 162.

Cubs Owner Tom Ricketts Was "Personally Involved" in the Pitch Meeting to Seiya Suzuki - Bleacher Nation
Clearly the Cubs really want to sign Japanese slugger Seiya Suzuki.

Projected in a neutral park, ZiPS has Suzuki as a better-than-league-average corner outfielder but one who projects below All-Star levels without another step forward:
ZiPS Projection – Seiya Suzuki
ZiPS suggests a five-year, $83 million contract for Suzuki, though some of that wouldn’t be part of his contract, with a chunk instead going to the Carp as a posting fee. (Based on the ZiPS’ projected contract, the posting fee would be about $14 million under MLB’s current arrangement with NPB, and I swear, I didn’t change Suzuki’s cut to $69 million in order to make that joke.)
