Cubs free agent target: Anthony Rizzo

You know, I wasn’t going to write this article. I figured the Anthony Rizzo ship had sailed, and he seemed both happy and productive in Yankee Stadium.

Then Gordon Wittenmyer upset that nice little proverbial applecart by writing this article, which posits the idea that perhaps a Cubs/Rizzo reunion might be a useful idea.

Many of you are convinced the Cubs should sign a first baseman, and yesterday we discussed the possibility of José Abreu switching sides of town.

Rizzo can opt out of his Yankees deal after this year. It has one year to go with a salary of $16 million for 2023, so the Cubs would have to better that, you’d think.
