Oakland Athletics’ utility man Ben Zobrist is one of the most highly desired players this trade season. Not only is he a skilled ball player, but he is the only quality middle infielder that seems to be available. Despite a handful of teams inquiring about Zobrist, the A’s should keep this versatile player until the offseason.
Zobrist has had a huge impact on this team since coming back from arthroscopic knee surgery. During his first full month back in June, Zobrist was slugging .495 and his OPS was .879. Additionally, in his last 15 games, he has gotten ten hits and has only struck out six times in 50 at-bats.
