Fowler should have been resigned, he's been great except for first month. Zobrist is 34., you don't give people that age multiyear contracts, look at what is happening across the league with Verlander, Holliday in St. louis at the end, and in many other instances.
    Again, Zobrist was the WS MVP. They wouldn't have won without him. That was worth his $52 million contract. But I agree, the Cubs should not hesitate to let him become a bench/utility guy.

    Zobrist was horrible in the playoffs, he hit under .200 before the world series, and nothing special in the world series. He won the MVP because no one player was that great for the Cubs, he had 1 hit or less in 4 of the games. The contract is horrible and a big part of the reason they couldn't bring Folwer back.
