The Cubs have roughly 37 second baseman in camp right now, and that’s not even including the 2016 World Series MVP patrolling camp in uniform this week as a special assistant. Don’t go getting any thoughts in your head, though, Ben Zobrist and his black cleats are just there in Mesa as a favor to David Ross. However, the almost 39-year-old hasn’t officially retired and might like his chances at recapturing a position in flux.
No, just stop it. Zobrist might have walked through that door, but he’s not sticking around. Then who is?
