This week feels very bittersweet for many Chicago Cubs supporters. Theo Epstein landing star closer Craig Kimbrel has put the fanbase in a state of total euphoria, but when we say hello to one do we say goodbye to another? The move has increased the suspicion among fans that Ben Zobrist will not be returning.
Zobrist has been out since early May as he has dealt with divorce and taking care of three children. One could say, “Well many go through divorces but people still have to go to work.” Keep in mind that Zobrist having to go through a divorce in several states and having kids to worry about is much harder for professional athletes who are on the road traveling constantly.
