Anthony Rizzo is retiring from the MLB after 14 seasons, including a decade wit  the Chicago Cubs. Rizzo was a key part of the Cubs' 2016 World Series team. Rizzo spent his final 3.5 seasons with the New York Yankees following his trade in 2021.

"Anthony Rizzo was the face of one of the most successful eras in Chicago Cubs history and we are so excited he will be a part of our organization for many years to come," Cubs executive chairman Tom Ricketts said in a statement. "His play on the field spoke for itself and was recognized with multiple All-Star appearances, Gold Glove Awards, the Roberto Clemente Award and, ultimately, being a team leader on the 2016 World Series championship team."

Rizzo retires with a career .828 OPS and 303 home runs.

Rizzo joins other Cubs ambassadors including Andre Dawson, Ryan Dempster, Fergie Jenkins, Lee Smith, Billy Williams, Kerry Wood and Ben Zobrist.
