Agent Joel Wolfe said Wednesday that Seiya Suzuki would decline the Cubs’ qualifying offer.

Suzuki is very likely to command a four- or five-year deal with an annual salary at a little above the $23.15 million he’d get in 2027 by accepting the qualifying offer. The Mariners, Padres, Red Sox and Phillies are reported to have interest in him, and the Cubs are expected to make some effort to retain him.
