Rizzo decides against accepting nachos in trade
Posted May 23, 2021 1:00 pm
The Cubs were on national TV on Saturday, so naturally Anthony Rizzo was mic'd up. Fox cameras caught him talking to a young fan above the Cubs dugout. After the game, he explained the situation.
"He wanted a signed ball for nachos and he wanted the signed ball first," Rizzo said. "I told him that's not how business goes. I was negotiating with him. I tried teaching him a lesson, but I caved and gave him the ball first.
"They did bring the nachos down, but I don't think the protocols allow us to take stuff from fans right now, so I went with the smart approach and said, 'Thank you but I can't.'"
