NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Chicago Cubs and free-agent infielder Ben Zobrist have agreed to a four-year contract.
The team announced the deal on Tuesday night.
A person familiar with the negotiations says the contract is worth $56 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms were not announced.
Zobrist, 34, is a switch hitter who plays second, third and the outfield, and he was an important spark for the Kansas City Royals in their run to the World Series title.
