Chicago Cubs: Anthony Rizzo fires back at Jed HoyerVincent Pariseon August 3, 2021 at 6:53 pm

Of course, one of the players he is talking about is former Cubs’ first baseman, Anthony Rizzo. Well, on the very same station the very next day, Anthony Rizzo went on and fired back at Jed Hoyer. He was asked about his response to what Hoyer said and he didn’t seem too happy about it. He wondered why he would even say something like that.

He was also sure to point out that the things that he and his teammates have and can accomplish on the field cost money, implying that the Cubs were not willing to pay that money. He said it was like a bad breakup which is starting to seem that way. Things might have been a little messier in the negotiations than we thought.

Anthony Rizzo went on the radio and talked about the Chicago Cubs trading him.

“There is one common denominator that no one signed.” Anthony Rizzo told David Kaplan and Jonathan Hood during the interview.

It is weird to hear all of these things being said when at one point, it seemed like the Cubs were the new model franchise in Major League Baseball. Now, they are dealing with this sort of thing. Anthony did have some nice things to say about the way things went in Chicago as well during his tenure there. He is happy that this was his home for such a long time and that they had such great success.

Rizzo is not in a race for the playoffs with the New York Yankees. They are out of a playoff spot right now but they are hoping that their new additions can help them increase their chances of competing for one with the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays. It is going to be a lot of fun to see Rizzo actually play for a team that has playoff hopes this year. As for the Cubs, they will try to pick up the pieces from this major fallout. It is going to be a long time before they are good again.
