Former New York Yankees player, Anthony Rizzo, is enjoying his time in free agency, as he remains on the radar of top teams. Moreover, unlike other free agents, Anthony isn’t bothered by the lockout, as he isn’t interested in rushing a deal.

Notably, Anthony hasn’t spent a lot of time with the pinstripes, as he joined the team recently in 2021. However, the 32-year-old baseman has entered free agency now.

Anthony is thrilled, as praises galore

During his professional career, Anthony has been part of some big teams like the Boston Red Sox, the Chicago Cubs, and the New York Yankees. Notably, he has spent most of his career with the Cubs until he was transferred to the Yankees in 2021.

Rizzo, who has now entered the free agency, is enjoying the attention he is receiving from prospective buyers. In conversation with ‘The Compound Podcast,’ Rizzo revealed his experience in the free agency. He said, “It’s pretty exciting, actually. You get all these teams calling you and saying how much they like you instead of the team bashing you and saying why you’re not good enough anymore.”

Things look positive for Anthony’s future with the New York Yankees

Even in his short outing with the franchise, Anthony made quite the impact. He became the first Yankees player in history to get on base eight times. Moreover, Yankees GM Brian Cashman also revealed that he is in talks with Rizzo’s agent, hinting at a potential deal for the 2022 season.

Anthony also sounded optimistic when he talked about his short journey with the Yankees. He said, “The best part about playing for the Yankees was being able to go to another organization that was so first class and just sit back and observe everything and how it goes.”

Although Rizzo is having fun with the many offers on his table, there seems to be a strong chance of him returning to the Yankees. What do you think, will Rizzo sign elsewhere or will he stay put?
