Seiya Suzuki, primarily a DH? Is this the best use of his talent? The Cubs seem committed to this strategy, citing Tucker’s defensive prowess. But is benching a player who clearly wants to be in the field a recipe for success? How will this impact Suzuki's performance and morale? Is this the beginning of the end of his time in Chicago? Cubs fans, what are your thoughts? Is this a smart move by Counsell, or a potential disaster in the making?

The article mentions a lack of backup for Crow-Armstrong in center field. With limited internal options, do the Cubs need to dip into free agency? Are Michael A. Taylor or Kevin Pillar the answer, or should they look elsewhere? What other moves should the Cubs prioritize to round out their roster?

This also raises a broader question: how important is defensive specialization in modern baseball? Are the Cubs prioritizing defense over offense by relegating Suzuki to DH? Is this the right balance for a team looking to contend?

And finally, a bold prediction: Suzuki’s frustration will reach a boiling point, leading to a trade before the All-Star break. Which teams could be potential landing spots for the disgruntled slugger? Let the speculation begin!
