After dropping more than 25 pounds, Cubs slugger Anthony Rizzo is ready to go.

Many of us found ourselves in the same situation as Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo this spring, as large swatches of the country went into quarantine due to the coronavirus. We could try to make the best of the situation and focus on ourselves – or we could eat and drink our way through the lockdown.

Thankfully for Rizzo and the team, he chose the former option, dropping 25 pounds in a dramatic transformation along with Cubs coach and former big leaguer Mike Napoli.
