Because he would get traded to New York!

Anthony Rizzo had this to say about being traded to New York!

I think this is a great opportunity and i’m really fortunate to be going to the New York Yankees .

It’s the No.1 sports franchise in the world . It’s going to be a fun ride. I can’t wait to get there and just try to settle in as fast as I can.

In the second inning, the Marlins had runners on first and second with one out. With Lewis Brinson at the plate, Germán threw the ball to the plate.

Jordan Montgomery who is a left handed pitcher is supposed to start the finale for New York!

Though is it possible that mother nature could get in the way of his start and of the New York, Miami finale?

That is a possibility!

Why?

Because there is a 47% chance of rain at first pitch though won’t be a problem at loanDepotpark!

Why?

Because Ioan Depot park has a retractable roof.
