There’s no logical spot for Luke Voit on the Yankees’ roster after they signed Anthony Rizzo.
Rizzo’s two-year deal — not official as of Wednesday morning, but Rizzo did have a jersey in the clubhouse — means there’s no logical spot for Voit on the roster. It’s a reality Voit grasped when he got to Steinbrenner Field on Wednesday.
It’s the second time in two years the Yankees have acquired Rizzo to play first base, having traded for the lefty-swinging slugger from the Cubs prior to the trade deadline in July. “Obviously, everyone saw the speculation, so you guys got it right,” Voit said. “Especially after last year happened, I’m not surprised. I had a coach in the minors tell me ‘You’re always playing for 29 other teams.’ I’ve just got to keep doing what I’m doing and be ready for whatever happens, but right now I’m a New York Yankee.”The move came just days after Aaron Boone declared Voit the team’s starting first baseman, something Voit took with a grain of salt at the time.
