Poor Cubs' fans.
The curse of Murphy strikes again...it's almost too good to be true that the cursed Billy Goat shares the same name.
If they're going to "waste" (since his best year remaining will likely be in a non-contending year) money on a utility player, it better be Zobrist.
However, he'll have a ton of interesting offers in terms of dollars and years and definitely pick a playoff-caliber team for 2016.
Wouldn't be shocking to see him re-up with the Royals, he seems quite comfortable assuming the veteran "been there, done that" team spokesman role. Makes him an interesting interview because he has a perspective on the team from both the inside and the outside.
The Cubs don't have a huge need for Ben unless they are finally willing to start parting ways with Soler, Baez, Castro, etc. Plus, you don't want Zobrist playing CF and surrounded by two offense-first corner guys.
Stop trying to be a jinx
