Weird story.

Zobrist filed for separation, stating, that his “has been guilty of inappropriate marital conduct, which rendered further cohabitation impossible".

His wife filed for divorce the next day.

Zobrist left the Cubs on May 8 and hasn't returned. There is no timetable for when he'll be back.

I've never seen an MLB player go on leave related to a divorce, despite the many marital problems and divorces they end up having.

I do wonder if she was the one cheating on him, given his filing stating "inappropriate marital conduct", and his apparent devastation over the whole thing. If he were the one cheating and caught, you'd think he wouldn't have panicked so much, knowing it was his own doing.

I realize that, in a large percentage of divorce cases involving professional athletes, it's the man cheating with groupies while on the road.
