MLB; Breaking News Yankees trade for Anthony Rizzo 1st baseman left from Cubs surprise no redsox!!
The Yankees are trading Alcantara and Vizcaino for Rizzo. The Cubs are picking up all of Rizzo’s remaining salary.
Rizzo was traded from the Cubs to the Yankees in exchange for Kevin Alcantara and Alexander Vizcaino (arm) on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
The Cubs had been in talks with the Red Sox about a trade involving Rizzo leading up to Friday’s deadline, but he’ll head to their AL East rival. The 31-year-old spent the last 10 seasons with the Cubs, and he’s slashed .248/.346/.446 with 14 homers, 41 runs and 40 RBI in 92 games to begin the 2021 campaign. He’ll add another strong left-handed bat to the Yankees’ lineup after they acquired Joey Gallo from the Rangers on Wednesday, and he should take over as the team’s starting first baseman.
