Chicago Cubs: Ben Zobrist is really going to be missed

One of the most excellent images in Chicago Cubs history is of Ben Zobrist jumping in celebration after hitting a go-ahead RBI double in game 7 of the 2016 World Series. Zobrist was in his first year as a Cub when he recorded that hit, which alone made his four-year deal 100% worth it. Of course, his overall performance as a Cub also justified the deal.

For the first time since 2015, the Cubs enter a season without Zobrist being on the roster. After missing much of last year due to personal reasons, Zobrist (38) appears to be done playing baseball for now.
