00:00If you had to say right now, this morning, on Monday morning,

00:03who Suarez will end up with by 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon,

00:08who's that team?

00:10Well, I've got to say the Cubs.

00:12I'm on a great Chicago radio station, right?

00:14I mean, what else can I say?

00:16Always suck up to the listener.

00:18He really does.

00:19He really does fit the Cubs.

00:20I mean, the issue is that, you know, there are a ton of teams in it.

00:24He hasn't played great the last few days,

00:26but I think he's just kind of distracted by all the trade rumors

00:29and all my conversations and everybody else's conversations.

00:33He's had a fantastic year.

00:35I mean, he's a borderline MVP candidate, the way he's played.

00:38So, I mean, I do think the Reds are desperate for a middle-of-the-order guy

00:42back behind L.A. De La Cruz.

00:43They are clearly in the race, at least as far as a wild card goes.

00:47So I think the Reds are clearly in it.

00:50I mean, I've been told the Mariners are in it,

00:52although the Mariners already made one deal with Arizona and didn't get them.

00:55So, you know, I think the Cubs have as good a chance as anybody,

00:59and he fits them perfectly, as I said.

01:01So we'll not be shocked if he is a Cub.
