 More Cubs NewsCubs' GM Jim Hendry's primary target appears to be Japanese free agent Kosuke Fukudome, who declared for Japanese free agency Monday. "The desire for me to know what other teams think of me has gotten stronger," Fukudome said, making no mention of his desire to play in the major leagues. Fukudome, 30, already knows what the Cubs think of him, though Hendry wouldn't discuss his interest. "To my knowledge, he has not said specifically that he's ready to come to the States," Hendry said. Fukudome is more than ready, sources say and believes he can become the next Ichiro Suzuki. |
