The USA Today has a story about the increasingly odd and bitter divorce case of former Cub Ben Zobrist and his wife. Here's a taste of it...
The wife of Ben Zobrist filed court documents claiming that the former Chicago Cubs player failed “to preserve marital assets” when he took a leave of absence in 2019.
Julianna Zobrist also claimed in court documents, obtained by the Chicago Tribune that Ben Zobrist “essentially went from the top of his game to basically giving up, which caused a massive loss in income" and that he “intentionally and voluntarily stopped working.”
She is asking for an additional $4 million to be awarded to her during their divorce trial, which is set for next month.
“In 2019, he had a contract with the Chicago Cubs for ($12 million), but since he only played for 2 months, his salary was prorated and he only earned ($4.5 million) of the ($12 million) he could have earned,” according to the memorandum filed by Julianna Zobrist’s attorney.
She is essentially suing him for not earning more...even though he quit because she was cheating on him with their pastor...who was pretending to be their marriage counselor...and who Ben also accuses of defrauding his charity for $6 million. Unbelievable.
