if you make it to the majors and can't hit, in order to stick you have to be good defensively. They expected him to be elite on both sides of the ball, he's not.

21Sep2018 - The day I stopped caring about Addison Russell's career. I'm not sure if he's through in MLB, but I think he's done with the Chicago Cubs.

I know these allegations were out there last year, but until last night his ex-wife wasn't willing to cooperate in the investigation.

Yeah. Not good for him. For the Cubs to put him on admin leave is big. Compound that with we all know how "allegations" roll these days. Regardless of his guilt or innocence, the public court of opinion doesn't weigh in with blind justice. If there's evidence... he'll be the MLB's Ray Rice.

Luckily for the Cubs, they traded for Murphy and have Bote. We have pieces to cover over Russell. The Cubs will be fine, IMO.

Like Bricks, his career doesn't concern me much now. If he's guilty, there should be repercussion. If he's innocent, it's going to have to play out legally and go from there. As of right now, the Cubs seem to be moving on, thus so am I.
