Anthony Vincent Rizzo (born August 8, 1989) is an American professional baseball first baseman for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs.
Rizzo was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the sixth round of the 2007 MLB draft and became a top minor league prospect in the Red Sox organization. He was traded to the San Diego Padres after the 2010 season along with three other prospects in exchange for All-Star first baseman Adrián González. He made his MLB debut in 2011 with San Diego. After being traded to the Cubs in 2012, he developed into an All-Star player, appearing in the All-Star Game three consecutive times, from 2014 through 2016. Among Rizzo's other accolades include winning the Silver Slugger Award, Gold Glove Award, Roberto Clemente Award, and winning a World Series title with the Cubs in 2016. The Cubs traded him to the Yankees during the 2021 season, with whom he signed a two-year contract, with a club option for a third year, following the 2022 season as a free agent.[1] Through his philanthropic ventures, he is a regular finalist for the Heart and Hustle award.
