Ben Zobrist won’t play in 2020

Ben Zobrist missed much of the 2019 season attending to personal matters, and then became a free agent at the end of the year.

Now, it appears he’s played his last major-league game:

Ben Zobrist hasn’t announced anything but is at home and has no plans to play. Very nice career: started versatility trend and was rewarded for it, won 2 rings

Ben turns 39 in May, and if he has “no plans to play” in 2020, his career is likely over.
