BREAKING: Yankees re-sign 1B Anthony Rizzo to a 2-year, $32 million contract
After a week or so of speculation who the team would negotiate with for it’s first base opening for the 2022 season, the Yankees finally have their man. Late Tuesday evening, the Yankees re-signed free agent Anthony Rizzo to a two-year contract. Rizzo, who was acquired at last year’s trade deadline, was a fine first baseman for the ballclub in 2021, but with higher end options available this offseason – namely Matt Olson from Oakland via a trade, or Freddie Freeman in free agency – this feels like a disappointment.
