7 teams are reportedly interested in Seiya Suzuki.

Braves and Rangers are reportedly the 2 most interested. Any info on this guy? I never bothered because I figured Braves wouldn't push for him.

Yeah, I read this article that talks about him a touch more and got excited.

Hes a corner OF. Has an excellent arm and will make all the basic plays. Not a gold glove defender bur capable. He has a solid eye, he walks more than he K's. Of course the Japanese zone is different but his discipline is one of his strongest features. He has power as well, his exit velocity is really high so he's really good at getting the barrel to the ball. He's a guy you plug in at 5 or 6, not a great runner but you want him up to drive in runs.

Read his MLB comp is Acuna but honestly not sure why he's drawing that comparison.

Could be a move to help with another move.  Jay was on a team with  Seiya Suzuki a few years ago in Japan. Seems Jay liked him alot and they got along well as friends.    So having a familiar face here might make the transition easier for Suzuki and might help him want to join the braves.    If it lands you a really good player then the little change we are giving up for Jay is worth it and Jay might even be a solid middle relief piece in the end you never know.

MLB and the Union have agreed to move up the arbitration deadline to November 30th. This gives the players who are allowed to walk the opportunity to talk with other teams before the lockout. 

Does this mean the hearings for disputes will take place as well?
