Astros
“The Astros have identified Anthony Rizzo as their No. 1 free-agent target at first base. They are also considering Yuli Gurriel and Jose Abreu, but signing Rizzo would serve the dual purpose of strengthening their own roster while weakening the Yankees’.
Thankfully, Rosenthal then talked about why it might be smart for Rizzo to stay in New York for at least one more season.
Rizzo, 33, faces an interesting decision about going back to the Yankees. If he accepts the team’s qualifying offer, he will earn one year more salary than he would have received in a multi-year deal. He could then hit another season at Yankee Stadium, benefit from new shift restrictions as well, and re-enter the market without a qualifying offer. A player cannot get one twice.
Net Worth
Anthony Rizzo is an American professional baseball player who has a net worth of $27 million. Anthony Rizzo was born in 1989 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Boston Red Sox drafted him during the sixth round of the 2007 MLB draft. He went through the Red Sox farm system before making his MLB debut on June 9, 2011, for the San Diego Padres. He played for the Padres during the 2011 season before being traded to the Chicago Cubs in 2012. As of the fall of 2014, Rizzo remains with the Cubs. The left-handed first baseman has a career batting average of .254, with 405 hits, 71 home runs, and 215 runs batted in as of the end of the 2014 season.
Career earnings
Anthony Rizzo signed a 2-year/$40,000,000 contract with the New York Yankees, which includes $40,000,000 guaranteed and an annual average salary of $20,000,000. In 2023, Rizzo will earn a base salary of $17,000,000 with a total salary of $17,000,000.
War
The New York Yankees and free agent first baseman Anthony Rizzo have agreed to a two-year deal with a club option for 2025, the team announced Tuesday. According to YES Network, the deal is worth $34 million with a club option for 2025 worth $17 million and a $6 million buyout. Rizzo first declined his $16 million player option for 2023 and then the qualifying offer (one year, $19.65 million) that the Yankees had previously extended.
The way things turned out, it seems like a win-win.
Rizzo spent nearly 10 years with the Cubs — followed by a quick stint in San Diego — before being traded to the Yankees at the 2021 trade deadline. He then went back to the Yankees on a one-year deal before 2022 and hit .224/.338/.480 (131 OPS) with 21 doubles, 32 homers, 75 RBI, 77 runs scored, and 2.3 WAR. The 32 home runs tied a career high (he’s now hit exactly 32 homers in four different seasons) and he flashed his customary leather at first base.
