Bleed Cubbie Blue did a good job of following the Addison Russell story, with a link to article by Russell’s ex-wife Melisa about the history of abuse, MLB putting Russell on leave, and the Cubs management reaction to the story.
I’m glad Melisa Reidy is speaking out.
I suspect we will not see Russell in a Cubs uniform for the rest of the year. The Cubs did pick up Daniel Murphy, allowing them to move Javier Baez to shortstop, where he hit much better than Russell. Chicago may suffer defensively in that alignment, but the extra offense is likely worth it. If Baez and Murphy stay healthy through the playoffs, losing Russell should not hurt the team. It’s one advantage of building a team where players have multiple positions.
