Report: Nationals contact A's about Zobrist

With the trade deadline gradually approaching, teams have contacted the A's about a possible move for Ben Zobrist.

The Nationals are the latest team to inquire about the utility player, but talks are only preliminary, according to a Fox Sports report.

Zobrist was sidelined for a month earlier this season because of a meniscus tear in his left knee.

The 34-year-old is batting .222 with 2 HR and 14 RBI in 23 games for the Athletics.

The Cubs have also been linked to Zobrist.
