The outfielder, projected to receive the largest contract of any free agent this offseason, could turn to a short-term contract instead.
The Chicago Cubs are among three teams that are maintaining steady contact with a top free agent represented by Scott Boras.
In eight NPB seasons, Tatsuya has a record of 58-45, an ERA of 3.15, 907 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.267 over 963 innings pitched. Pair him with Shota Imanaga, and the Cubs have the best 1-2 punch in their division.
