I wonder if Addison's early-season struggles were caused by stress from the drama at home. Perhaps the news getting out was actually a relief to him, because he wasn't hiding anything anymore.

Don't wonder about that.
There's no way to find out and it doesn't matter anyway.

At this point, they'll get a divorce, neither MLB nor law enforcement will do anything about it because it's unprovable and we'll just have to deal with rooting for a guy that might be a scumbag (admittedly any of them could be, but there's smoke here.)

That's the future as long as he's a Cub.  

He's an immature scumbag at best. At worst, he's a narcissistic abuser. You can hope he becomes a better person. He is a good shortstop. I suppose Rey Sanchez, Alex Gonzalez, and Neifi Perez were wonderful citizens, husbands, and fathers.

Actually, he's completely innocent at best. The evidence we have is about as flimsy as possible.

And yet, probably true.

So here we are.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Curiously absent from your list, Starlin Castro.

Oh, yeah. Now I remember.

Yes, that, and Starlin Castro is a little better at baseball than Sanchez, Alex Gonzalez, and Neifi Perez, no?

Well, we know that he committed adultery. With respect to the fact that he's hardly alone in that regard, it's still a pretty shitty thing to do.

Yes but while we know, at this point, that Russell is clearly guilty of the former, we cannot say we know he's guilty of the latter.  The only suggestion has been a second-hand comment by someone who has not been backed up by the purported victim.  No formal criminal investigation or complaints from the victim as far as we know and the only investigation is being done by Russell's employer and until the investigation complete, nobody can know what exactly to make of the assertion yet.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

All we know is that MLB doesn't bother sweeping this shit under the rug.

And a little worse at keeping law enforcement from getting involved.

I missed this first time round but I just want to say that, not for the first time, I agree wholeheartedly with Pen.  Relationships are almost never a one-way street and when somebody is "unfaithful", it might mean nothing more than that their cunt of a partner made life unbearable for them.  Blaming people for "cheating" presupposes you know absolutely everything about their relationship, and - spoiler alert - you definitely don't.

Cheating is the business of those directly involved, and nobody else.  The end.
Your toilet's broken, Dave, but I fixed it.
