Zobrist not yet ready to make decision about future

Ben Zobrist played second base and batted fifth in what might have been his final home game at Wrigley Field on Sunday.

The 38-year-old whose contract expires at the end of the season has not decided about his future.

“I’m trying not to think about that right now,” Zobrist said. “I’ve got a lot of time whenever the season’s over to think about that.”

It has been a trying season for Zobrist, who missed almost four months because of personal reasons. He is hitting .296 (16-for-54) with a homer and six RBIs in 17 games since his return while providing veteran leadership.
