Reports coming out that Zobrist's wife has filed for divorce. Ends the speculation about what was going on. While it's a bummer for him at least it's not health related.

Bummer for Ben ,sorry to hear it but like others have said at least it's not health related. I have a feeling he might be done. If it's affecting him enough to take a leave from the team , I don't just see him getting over it and coming back. I hope he does though. I'd love him to be part of another championship with the Cubs.

Too bad, they seemed like a great family.

They seemed like a happy couple, and really into their faith as well, so the marriage had to be getting really rough on them. Really tough for a couple who both both in the spotlight and on the road a ton due to their careers to keep a healthy marriage going as well.
I would not be surprised if Benny decides to hang up the cleats to focus on his family to be their for his children during a rough period. I would love him back but his family is more important.

That's unfortunate, especially when there are children involved. But, life happens. Hope everything works out for him and his family.

Tough spot, sounds like the rumors of her unfaithfulness may be true. Ben is the one who actually filed for legal separation in Nashville TN first citing in "inappropriate martial conduct" by his wife in court files. She countered Ben's filing with a divorce filing in Cook County as "irreconcilable differences". She filed in Cook County because Illinois determines martial assets the day divorce is final.
EDIT: This could get ugly.

According to tennessean.com, Ben Zobrist’s filing contends that his wife “has been guilty of inappropriate marital conduct which render further cohabitation impossible,” though the article didn’t elaborate.
“Husband is unsure if the marriage can be salvaged,” the filing says, also according to the Tennessean.

I'd love him to be part of another championship with the Cubs. Can anyone recall such a long absence from a ball club during the season to deal with a divorce? Indeed, veteran Zobrist's divorce may inspire him to retire and take care of his kids.

But I could also see him diving back into baseball after a certain point.Sometimes you do what you do best when bad things happen

Yes, Sandberg, he actually "retired" and 8 days later we learned his wife filed divorce papers . Sandberg filed. And he retired so she wouldn't get half of the $7 million he was due that season. He was reinstated less than week after the divorce was finalized.
