After the Chicago Cubs lost Ben Zobrist to the restricted list as he deals with personal matters, the team have been dealing with a void at second base. While Zobrist is Joe Maddon‘s ‘swiss army knife,’ he mostly likes to deploy him at second base or right field. Without knowing if and when he will return, the Cubs picked up Carlos Gonzalez to play right field. So far, that hasn’t panned out, and the team is missing Zobrist’s presence on the field and in the clubhouse.
To say that the Cubs don’t have options would be a misnomer.
