Kosuke Fukudome, the top Japanese position player import since Ichiro Suzuki (Mariners), will be deciding today or tomorrow on offers from the Chicago Cubs or San Diego Padres. The Cubs are thought to have offered a 5 yr. contract worth around 50 Million total, while the Padres offered a 3 yr. Contract. Financial Terms unknown to the public.
According to MLBTraderumors.com the Cubs are deciding internally if they should up the offer to 5yrs. 65 Million to scare off any other potential bidders. The Cubs will have him play either Center Field or Right Field if he signs with them, the Padres are likely to have him be their Center Fielder, since Mike Cameron is not currently on the roster.
