Anthony Rizzo trade officially signals the end of an era

Seeing the breakup of the core of players responsible for the best ever era in Cubs baseball isn't a surprise, given where the franchise stands at the 2021 trade deadline. Watching Anthony Rizzo to be the first to go, however, came as a shock to many, if not most, and drove home just how much change could be on the horizon. Rizzo, the face of the turnaround that eventually broke the most famed championship drought in sports, was sacrosanct to many Cubs fans. Now, he's a Yankee, and it's certain that more players fans have come to love over the last decade or so will follow him out the door.Brett and Sahadev discuss that reality, the Rizzo trade, what comes next, and what Cubs fans can look forward to over the next few months on this episode of Onto Waveland.Follow Brett on Twitter: @BleacherNationFollow Sahadev on Twitter: @sahadevsharmaFollow Patrick on Twitter: @PJ_MooneyEmail us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
