Seiya Suzuki

At this point, it feels like Kyle Tucker is a long shot to return to the Cubs, so the team will likely replace him by "reallocating resources to different parts of the roster." Mooney suggests that Seiya Suzuki will play more right field, and the Cubs will use much of the extra money to bolster their rotation, which means young hitters Owen Caissie and Moises Ballesteros will get a chance "to develop and improve at the major-league level." As of now, Caissie, a top 100 prospect, appears to have the upper hand after putting together an .887 OPS in Triple-A over the last two seasons. He has more defensive value than Ballesteros, who is more of a DH right now than a 1B/C, but this may come down to a spring training battle between the two.
