Anthony Rizzo, who was in the tarrades last night at the Yankee Stadium, had a very good career.
Whoever defeated cancer played with the Padres (briefly, certainly) before joining the Cubs, where he knew glory and where he was able to win the world series. He also played with the Yankees for a few seasons.
But now the main interested party, who wanted to return in 2025, but who was unable to find a job, announced that he was going to retire from major baseball.
He will sign a day contract to do it under the colors of the Cubs, which will also honor him on Saturday in Chicago.

Note that he will then be an employee of the Cubs. The honorary “captain” of the cubs during the beautiful years of the franchise will act as ambassador for his heart team.
It is good to see him return to Chicago since it was there, obviously, that he has known the best moments of his career. He had been exchanged because his club was heading for a reconstruction … which is precisely ending.

Rizzo played for 14 years, including 10 with the Cubs. He played for four years in New York and started (in 2011) with the Padres. He produced 965 points, slammed 303 long bullets and collected 1644 career strokes.
He is recognized as a leader of men and he was appreciated by his teammates. I can't wait to see where life will lead him.
