Amidst the 2024 MLB Winter Meetings, rumors have linked infielder Anthony Rizzo to the Pittsburgh Pirates, but MLB insider Robert Murray was quick to dismiss them as nothing but speculation.
The 35-year-old first baseman has entered free agency this winter after a successful season, but the New York Yankees have shown interest in re-signing him. There has been speculation that the Pirates are interested in signing Rizzo, but Murray said:
"I asked some folks about that yesterday, and they laughed at me. I don't think they've had a single conversation with Anthony Rizzo. That is categorically 1000 percent false. Rizzo is not going to the Pirates."
