The New York Yankees shocked the baseball world on Thursday night, when they decided to make a deal for Chicago Cubs’ first baseman Anthony Rizzo. The left-handed slugger is a free agent after the season, but will take advantage of the short porch, contribute very good defense, and excellent on-base skills.
The slugger was seen taking pictures at Wrigley Field, his home for several years, with his family, soaking it in while he could. His next journey includes trying to take the Yankees to the playoffs, and there is a lot of work to do: the Bombers sit at 53-48, 8.
