Ben Zobrist is no longer under contract and hasn’t spoken publicly about his intentions for 2020 and beyond, but it sounds like he may have ridden off into the sunset for good. According to Jon Heyman, Zobrist “is at home and has no plans to play” this season. Or ever again, presumably.
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
