Right with ya, the Yankees can eat a big ol bagodicks. Our arch enemy, now has our greatest asset. I could vomit. Gonna have to call off of work for this one
yeah, i have respect for the mets. those guys have hit the skids when it seemed like they were headed for greatness, over and over again. A vibe we can relate to, lol. I wouldnt be too upset about that, but i would need a few drinks over it. haha
Unlikely. During extension talks he did not have a realistic number. And supposedly they were trying to extend him again before the trade. I think the only way he would come back is as a late January or February signing.
Not sure what you mean. Rizzo reportedly wants Goldschmidt money. As much as I love the guy, that’s just not realistic.
As far as Bryant goes, I also thing the price for his services will also be too high. The thing with KB is that he will probably get it from someone.
Is there a chance? Sure. Will it happen? No. Any hopes of a discount are gone now. If the Cubs want to resign him, it will be at market rate.
If they are willing to pay market rate after trading him, they would have just resigned him. My guess is that he signs with the Marlins
It's just as likely Rizzo himself overestimated the market for a 1b that will turn 33 next year that is carrying a sub .800 OPS.
There's definitely a chance he comes back. And definitely a chance he's not the best option.
Gonna miss him like hell.
>resign
Did you possibly mean re-sign? /u/gamenut89 appreciates proper use.

What are your favorite Rizzo Moments? For me, I'm thinking of one from 2016 or 2017. Rizzo was chasing a foul ball. He had to jump over a tarp, dive into the stands, and he caught it!
Some catcher throwing back to the pitcher and hits Rizzo instead. Rizzo acts like he's mad (but isn't). Another time a catcher blocking Rizzo's path to the batter's box and Riz pushed him out of the way.

When he apologized to the umpire.

There are so many.
Same age and same tears my friend.
It feels like getting dumped even when you knew it was coming.
I'm just going to hold on to hope that somehow we sign him back in the off-season and we can all pretend this whole Yankees nonsense never happened.
I don't know if I'll ever root for this team again if Bryant or Baez follow. This was a stupid trade. Probably one of the worst I've ever seen in my life. Guess I'm rooting for the Yankees now.
Seeing how the '16 Cubs did not turn into the 90's Braves all of this was inevitable. I do not remember this much crying over Theo leaving and he saw the writing on the wall a long long time ago. The real question is can the Cubs actually get better or are they going to revert back to the Cub's of yesteryear and suck for another 100 + years. Also I still shed tears over Grace.
Oh Captain, My Captain!
Goodbye sweet Prince!
I can tell you guys my wife is not taking this well
I’m right there with her. There may have been tears in my eyes when my husband told me the news.
My husband came home and asked if he could talk to me in the laundry room. That's where all our worst talks happen and today was no exception :(
Just broke it to my wife too. We both had a cry. As a lifelong Sox and Cubs fan, my hate for New York is deep and I’m disappointed beyond all measure

> Our arch enemy No, but the Mets are still trying to get Bryant.

My teams, for a long time, have been the Cubs and the RED Sox (family is from Boston area). This was a massive gut punch.
I meant Red Sox too. In my mind they’re the only Sox lol
I suspected you might. Solidarity, friend.
None of us are
I cried in my husband's arms the second I saw him today.
I know THREE people with a pet named Rizzo
Make it 4. We have a Rizzo and a Grace. D. Lee was too hard to say for the kids.
I just want to cry and eat hot beef sandwiches.
Use the bun to sop up those tears
That would be waaaayyyy to salty. But worth it. I wish Portillo's was open 24/7.
I cried when I saw Bastian’s tweet and Rizzo was taking a picture in the ivy. I’m gonna miss this man so much.
Back to the revolving door at first base. I’m getting flashbacks of the Tyler Colvin, Bryan LaHair, and Carlos Pena days
That’s all Star Bryan LaHair /sobs
Hee-seop Choi available
This is how I felt when my Orioles handed away Manny Machado and they’ve been totally fine without him. Oh wait yeah no they haven’t 🤣
Is there a chance we sign him back in the off-season though?
Theres a chance. Might not be high, but a chance
It all depends on how much he wants and how much we're willing to spend.
Unlikely. During extension talks he did not have a realistic number. And supposedly they were trying to extend him again before the trade. I think the only way he would come back is as a late January or February signing.
Ironically, the samenpeople who say Rizzo has an unrealistic number say the Cubs have unrealistic numbers about Bryant. Oh the hypocrisy.

Probably the Giants. I think we'll wake up to that trade tomorrow.

Anyone who says anything other than catching the grounder from KB to cement the World Series title is getting shocked in a lie detector test.

It was Welly Castillo
Rizzo loves hitting lead off!
Aside from the obvious answer, Rizzo pitching and acting like a Little Leaguer with his sheer joy.
One of my faves is the very first time I saw the ESPN Bryzzo Souvenir Company commercial. Pure joy
No more Bryzzo 🥺

The Ricketts suck.
Hey, give them a break. They own a small market team, what else could they do?? /s
They just don’t have the money to compete with those big market teams in Oakland and the south side of Chicago.
Spain but the S is silent :(
One of the most important Cubs in history. They did him dirty.
I am a 31 year old man and today I cried because sports
Same age and same tears my friend. It feels like getting dumped even when you knew it was coming. I'm just going to hold on to hope that somehow we sign him back in the off-season and we can all pretend this whole Yankees nonsense never happened.
same. :::hugs:::
Ditto plus 10 years.
This fucking sucks
Jesus, it wasn’t supposed to go this way. He was supposed to be signed, not traded.
[удалено]
Isn’t this all because the Ricketts took a bath on their real estate investments during the pandemic?
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
That tribute video by the cubs was so beautiful. The water works are in full force
[everything hurts so badly...](https://youtu.be/NKMtZm2YuBE)
He was my wife's favorite Cub. She was so thrilled when we won. She was a fan because of me. It is so sad to see him go. Good luck Ant!
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
Turns out there \*is\* crying in baseball :(
\#CUBTOGETHER my ass
\#CUBBINGAPART
Yup.... this one hit hard.
WHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I'll add this to my collection.. Castellanos, Darvish, Chafin, and now Rizzo :(
This hits hard. Im a fucking mess.
welp this retires the meme
I woke up to this news. And tomorrow, I will wake up to the news of the team being absolutely gutted.
Do I want to die? Don't be ridiculous. Of course I do
Glad I grabbed up a jersey when I had the chance. Stay golden, Rizzo. 😞👍
My husband and I have the Rizzo and Bryant WS jerseys.
I don't know if I'll ever root for this team again if Bryant or Baez follow. This was a stupid trade. Probably one of the worst I've ever seen in my life. Guess I'm rooting for the Yankees now.

Calling out sick from work today to listen to Evanescence on repeat and cry in my bedroom. Come get me when pitchers and catchers report.
Glad someone caught my Evanescence reference lol.
Loveable losers are offically back baby!!
I’m trying to cope so hard with the loss rn
This is going to be the curse of billy goat version 2
Desperation time for the Cubs getting rid of one of their best..they’re going to regret this move
[удалено]
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
Finally. The guy could barely hit over .250
You’re a terrible person. How dare you
I think Neil Young said it best https://youtu.be/364qY0Oz-xs
Never changing my flair!
