According to a tweet by Ken Rosenthal, Anthony Rizzo is Houston’s number one free agent target between now and 2023 Opening Day. Rizzo is projected by FanGraphs as worth 2.1 WAR next season, or roughly $21 million. The New York Yankees are reportedly trying to get him to sign to a two-year deal. If I was one of the many AGM’s remaining with the Astros, I’d consider the 33-year-old Rizzo at four years and $72 million, with a team option for five. If Rizzo accepts, great! If he declines, Houston still forces the Yankees to open their pocketbook a little bit more.
