It's very telling though that he's having his 2 best seasons at age 31 and 32. This is not a guy who is slowing down any time soon. In terms of defensive flexibility, he can play RF and LF at an above average level and he's even played CF in a pinch last season. The Cubs are fortunate to have Conforto this year but if he wasn't around, Suzuki would spell PCA on a handful of days in CF. I see no reason why they can't bring him back for 3 or 4 more seasons. He's probably the best right handed bat they've had since guys like Bryant/Contreras left town... and similar to Contreras, this guy is just getting better as he ages. He's a special hitter and I don't see how the Cubs are better off by letting him walk and sticking Shaw/Ramirez/Conforto in RF next season.
