Seiya Suzuki’s walk-up song? Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” And it’s working—his 17th homer this season proves it. But with free agency looming after 2026, the Cubs face a brutal choice: keep their offensive engine, who’s on an 11-game on-base streak and a potential “one-man wrecking crew,” or risk losing him to a rival. With the payroll already stretched thin after big deals for Crow-Armstrong, Hoerner, and Bregman, and other key players like Swanson, Imanaga, and Happ also hitting the market, adding Suzuki’s next contract could break the bank. His production since arriving from Japan? Elite. His defense? Improved. And at $19M this year, he’s clearly looking for more. The Cubs’ pitching needs and looming deadline make this a high-stakes gamble—one that could reshape their future if they lose him.
