Ben Zobrist apparently will soon be down to only one World Series ring.
Heritage Auctions announced in a tweet that the World Series ring Zobrist won with the Cubs in 2016 will go up for auction in August.
No other details about the auction or why the ring is being sold were available on the auction house’s website Friday afternoon.

Zobrist, who last played in the major leagues in 2019, is a two-time World Series hero. His RBI in the 10th inning of Game 7 gave the Cubs the lead over the Indians, and the team would hold on for an 8-7 victory and end the 108-year championship drought. He was named World Series Most Valuable Player.
A year earlier, he scored in the 12th inning of Game 5 of the 2015 Series to help the Royals defeat the New York Mets and capture the baseball title for Kansas City.
