The Chicago Cubs have quite the conundrum at second base
The Chicago Cubs have several options at second base, but none have stood out at the position. Can they fix this from within, or will it need a trade to address it?
After the Chicago Cubs lost Ben Zobrist to the restricted list as he deals with personal matters, the team have been dealing with a void at second base. While Zobrist is Joe Maddon‘s ‘swiss army knife,’ he mostly likes to deploy him at second base or right field. Without knowing if and when he will return, the Cubs picked up Carlos Gonzalez to play right field. So far, that hasn’t panned out, and the team is missing Zobrist’s presence on the field and in the clubhouse.
