Included in an excellent report from Patrick Mooney is that there “is mutual interest between the Cubs and Ben Zobrist.” Mooney explained at this point “it’s more about monitoring the situation” but one of Joe Maddon’s guys would be interested in signing with the Cubs.
The Cubs would “probably need to trade one of their young hitters” in order for Zobrist to “become an ideal fit again” according to the report.
The Cubs are one of many teams interested in signing Ben Zobrist, and that long list includes the Cardinals according to Buster Olney, who would be willing to sign Zobrist to a multi-year deal.
