With their season over, it’s worth taking a look at Anthony Rizzo.
The Chicago Cubs legend retired from baseball in 2025.
Rizzo wrote (via Instagram on September 10, 2025): “This game gave me everything. 14 years later, I’m retiring with nothing but gratitude.”
It’s also worth noting that Rizzo made over $135 million in career earnings during his MLB career (h/t Spotrac).

From 2014-16, Rizzo made three straight trips to the MLB All-Star Game.
