Sports Business Insider: Ben Zobrist earning his paycheck with Cubs

Share

The Cubs added just under $19 million in salary over the next four years when they opted for veteran Ben Zobrist at second base over Starlin Castro this past offseason.

After winning a World Series with the Kansas City Royals, Zobrist inked a four-year, $56 million deal with the Cubs, which prompted the North Siders to trade Castro to the New York Yankees.

So far the move has paid immediate dividends in 2016.

Zobrist is either tied or has better numbers than Castro in every major statistical category through 47 games this season.
