“We can’t break them up!” Anthony Rizzo used the heart-tugging power of man’s best friend to convince Aaron Judge to re-sign with the Yankees
“I wasn’t recruiting as hard as you think,” Rizzo said. “[Wife] Emily and I know him and [Judge’s wife] Sam really well from last year, just getting closer. It was really, ‘What’s going to make you happy? Is it going to be A, B, C or D? Is that here, there or somewhere else?’ And just kind of being more of a friend throughout the process than being a teammate.
Rizzo hit 32 home runs last season, the most by a Yankees left-handed hitter in a decade . He is one of the bellwether hitters of how the proliferation of defensive shifts changed the game. Thanks in part to seeing four-man outfields and infield shifts, Rizzo hit .216 when he put the ball in play last season—the lowest such mark of his career. Rizzo saw a shift 83% of the time last season, up from 35% in ’15.
