Hal sucks
I'm curious who they had to give up. He's just a rental so hopefully not a ton, but I guess this means Voit is gone.
Geez, didn’t see this coming.
Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz & Boston Red Sox

Vizcaino is more likely to end up in the bullpen, but has closer stuff with a highly rated fastball and a changeup that is rated as elite. Alacantra could end up being good, but is still a few years away from the bigs. All in all not a lot to get Rizzo and have them eat his contract.
Not sure why I wasn’t more excited about this at the time. Here I thought Rizzo was this 34-35 yr old washed up player. He’s 31. His last full season, he was a 4WAR player with a .900+ OPS and an OBP over .400. Last year was an anomaly due to covid and a ridiculously low BABIP. This year, his K and BB rate are about 1% lower than his career averages, but his isoPower is almost exactly career average, his barrel and hard hit % are actually higher than his career averages, yet his BABIP is 20 points lower than his career norms. This is a guy who has had an unlucky stretch. It was due to correct and it has in a big way. This guy is now playing for his next contract, and heck, it could be in NY
