At 35, Anthony Rizzo finds himself as a free agent with potential teams showing reluctance to invest in veteran talents. Acknowledging his injuries over the past seasons, Rizzo is aware that older players like him are often undervalued despite their experience. He highlights how the market for veterans has changed, expressing concern over offers that don't reflect their worth and the negative impact it may have on younger players in the future. Rizzo, a three-time All-Star, remains hopeful about his ability to contribute to the game.
I've definitely thought about it. I think I have a lot to give to the game still, but at the same time, if teams are not going to want to pay a few million dollars for veterans, I've seen it over the last 10 years. It could be it.
The fact that teams want you to play for basically league minimum ($760,000), I'm like, you guys are crazy. You're almost trying to ruin the market for the next guy.
