Yesterday hurt. And there’s more pain coming today for Chicago Cubs fans, leading up to this afternoon’s MLB trade deadline. If you’re one of those folks out there who managed to get some sleep last night telling yourself Jed Hoyer will go out this winter and re-sign Anthony Rizzo, I have some bad news for you.
According to NBC Sports Chicago, the organization sees Thursday’s trade of the three-time All-Star as a ‘final divorce’ and have ‘no plans’ of pursuing Rizzo in free agency this winter. That’s a bitter pill to swallow given what this guy has meant and continues to mean to the organization, city and Cubs fans across the world.
