Yankees manager Aaron Boone, general manager Brian Cashman and New York teammates say they’re glad the Cubs gave up Anthony Rizzo to the Bronx.
“Sometimes they say those pinstripes can be a heavy burden,” Boone said. “He’s absolutely cut out for it.”
Whatever becomes of the Cubs after their decisions to purge the roster of championship-core players over the past 18 months, Rizzo, for one, might have found himself in a better place, with a better fit, than had he stayed. “He’s so approachable and so easy to be around; he connects with teammates whether it’s the star veterans on the team or the young guy coming up,” Boone said. “He just has a way about him, of making people feel comfortable.”
“But hearing from afar the type of person he was and the leader he was with the Cubs, and then getting a chance in a short sample of a few months in New York last year to see how he actually connected with our guys and how beloved he was, and how he creates such an amazing positive attitude within our clubhouse culture … If we could find common ground, we wanted to find a way if we could retain him.
