There is just way too much news for me to chit-chat up here. I’m probably going to miss some news anyway.
- In case you missed it late last night, free agent first baseman Anthony Rizzo signed a two-year, $32 million deal to return to the Yankees. There’s an opt-out after one year so it’s really a one-year, $16 million deal with a $16 million player option for 2023.
- But the big news was the trade that sent first baseman Matt Olson from Oakland to the Braves.
- The Braves also signed Olson to an eight-year, $168 million extension.
