The New York Yankees made some waves late Tuesday night with the announcement of the re-signing of Anthony Rizzo. This marks the second major move for the Yankees after acquiring Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa earlier this week.
The Yankees originally acquired Rizzo at last year’s trade deadline in a deal that saw the Yankees send two lower-level prospects and cash to the Chicago Cubs. Rizzo added a bit of a spark since coming to the Bronx and quickly became one of the team’s few clutch player. In the one game Wild Card, Rizzo was one of only four Yankees to record a hit with his sixth inning home run.
