The Chicago Cubs picked up first baseman Anthony Rizzo's $14.5 million option for 2020, preventing the three-time All-Star from hitting the open market.
Jesse Rogers of ESPN reported the news, noting the Cubs "should announce it later today."
The move should come as no surprise, given the infielder's consistent production.
Rizzo is coming off a season in which he hit .293/.405/.520 with an OPS of .924. Though he failed to record triple digits in RBI for the first time since 2014, he still managed 27 home runs and 94 RBI.
