It was only a matter of time. With a gaping hole at first base, Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer traded for former Red Sox first base prospect Anthony Rizzo. After being acquired by the Padres last year for Adrian Gonzalez, Rizzo was caught in a crowded first base field in San Diego. Now, he'll likely be the starting first baseman for the Cubs. Good for him!
