Anthony Rizzo has been an integral part of the New York Yankees since joining the ball club in 2021, and by his own admission, he doesn’t want that to change any time soon.
Rizzo was recently welcomed back to Wrigley Field with open arms when the Yankees took on his former team the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Per MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch on X, the former 2016 World Series champion unveiled the team he wants to hang up his cleats with ahead of the matchup, and Yankees fans can sleep easy knowing that it is with the Bronx Bombers (h/t Michael Sakuraba of New York Yankees on SI):
At 35 years of age, Rizzo is nearing the end of his illustrious career. The three-time All-Star is still utilized in the Yankees’ M-O, but he has seen his play taper off in 2024 and is noticeably removed from a campaign that garnered end-of-season accolades. His last one came in 2020, when he took home his fourth and final Gold Glove award prior to coming to New York.
The Florida native has not been an All-Star or Silver Slugger award recipient since 2016. In 2024, Rizzo has given the Yanks eight home runs in 76 games played behind a .222/.285/.338 slash line and a negative WAR of -0.5. Rizzo has played well at first base, though, owning a 99.5 percent fielding percentage to the tune of 490 putouts and 67 assists to only three errors committed.
