Anthony Rizzo, a heavy gunner who has accumulated more than 300 hits in his major league career, has not returned to the game for a long time, and today he shared a photo of himself wearing a suit and participating in the major league broadcast on social platforms, which makes people wonder if his professional baseball career has come to an end?
Rizzo has 14 years of experience in the major leagues, most of the time playing for the Chicago Cubs, and that is also the most glorious moment of his baseball career, not only won 4 gold gloves, 1 silver baseball award, and 1 world series championship, career accumulation of 303 hits, 965 points score, but since he moved to the New York Yankees, his skills have deteriorated significantly, last season only 2 to 28 batting percentage, 8 hits, at the end of the season, the Yankees chose to buy out the contract for $6 million, let him enter the free market.
Rizzo Nao has not signed with the team so far, but he shared a photo on social platforms today, which shows him wearing a suit and participating in the major league broadcast of Apple TV's "Friday Baseball Night" as an analyst for the game, but this scene in the eyes of fans can't help but wonder if his baseball career has really come to an end.
However, Rizzo is not unwanted, as he mentioned in an interview with The Athletic in February that he had plans to continue playing, but knew the team did not want to sign a veteran player for millions of dollars, and he stressed that he refused to sign a contract that would destroy the market value of future players in the same position, saying: "The team wants you to play at the league's minimum wage. I think you're crazy, you're almost ruining the market for the next player."
