The Cubs have announced that Anthony Rizzo will retire as a Cub and will be honored this Saturday at Wrigley Field as the club hosts the Rays. He will also serve as an ambassador for the organization. Jesse Rogers of ESPN was among those to relay the news.

The highlight of that stretch was the 2016 club, which won the World Series, breaking a 108-year drought.
More to come.
