Chicago Cubs: Ben Zobrist has no plans on playing in 2020

The Chicago Cubs Ben Zobrist has not officially announced his retirement, but if this is it, he should be lauded for ushering in a new era of players. Zobrist is the first memorable player of a generation who could play everywhere on the diamond.

Throughout his career, Zobrist primarily played second base, shortstop, and the corner outfield spots, but he did also see time at first, third, and sometimes in center field in his early years. He pitched the final game of the season for the Cubs to have officially played every position on the diamond for his career besides catcher.
