Anthony Rizzo As spring training progresses, no signatures are still being signed. The 35-year-old first baseman told Ken Rosenthal and Brendan Kuty that he hopes to find a landing spot in the upcoming season. However, he suggested that he was overwhelmed by the reduction in the benefits he received relative to expectations.
“Two years ago I had a weird year in a concussion,” Rizzo acknowledged his athleticism.Then last year, I was injured twice. My power supply volume dropped. I was surprised, but not like crazy, because I’m a realist in the game and you’re getting older. The team wants you to play the league with a minimum of minimum. I think you guys are crazy. You almost try to destroy the market for the next person.transparent
However, Rizzo made it clear that he wanted to continue the game. “I’m going to train until the start of the season, or even the whole season, to see what happens,” said the three-time All-Star. However, he acknowledged that the market was not friendly to aging batsmen.I think I still have a lot to give to the game. But at the same time, if the team doesn’t want to pay millions of dollars for veterans, I saw it in the last decade of my career. This is what happens to the elderly. They’re a little squeezed,” Rizzo told Rosenthal and Kuty.You’ve seen it more and more. I’m not naive. may be.transparent
As Rizzo admits, his past few seasons have been affected by numerous health problems. He was initially acquired by the Yankees before the 2021 trade deadline and re-signed in a two-year 40mm deal after the ’22 campaign. The deal was largely unharmed. Rizzo’s start to the 23 season was a good start. He was in a collision with Fernando Tatis Jr. Late May. Rizzo’s volume has had a huge impact since then until the Yankees placed him on the injury list for post-concussion syndrome in early August, which they traced back to the collision. That ended his season.
The 14-year major league veteran returned last season. In his 291 set appearance in mid-June, he began to start slowly, reaching .224/.289/.341 when he appeared in 291 sets. Another freak was injured and resulted in a prolonged absence. Rizzo collided with Boston pitcher Brennan Bernardino When the first base attempts to defeat the ground. He broke his bones in the fall and was immediately put on hold until September. Rizzo returned for a few weeks, but he had another tough break when Pittsburgh rescuer Ryan Borucki Open him with the ball. That broke his right hand. Rizzo missed the partition series but returned to the ALCS and the World Series. He reached the base with a great .421 edit, although he recorded only one extra hit (double) in 38 playoff sets.
New York bought the Rizzo for 6mm, replacing the 17mm club option, a simple season after the past few seasons. No team has contacted him publicly over the past few months. MLBTR’s Steve Adams identified some speculativeness against Rizzo and other unsigned batsmen in a post for front-end subscribers this afternoon.
