Inside, they found a bottle of expensive wine and a handwritten note from Rizzo.
The gift is part of a tradition Rizzo learned from two former Chicago Cubs teammates, who gave him a bottle of wine before his first season with the Cubs.
But the gifts have taken on a different meaning in the wake of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s crack habit and the subsequent investigation that revealed the Yankees had manipulated the evidence to make it appear as though Hunter was receiving free gifts from the team.
The wine, Rizzo says, is to show his teammates that despite the controversy, he still has their back and believes in them.
“I wanted to show my support and let them know that I still have faith in them and I am behind them 100%,” Rizzo said.
The Yankees have not commented on the situation, but it appears the team is trying to move on and put the scandal behind them.
Whether the wine helps the Yankees forget the scandal or not, it is clear Rizzo is trying to show his teammates that they still have his support.
