Ex-Cubs star Ben Zobrist claims wife Julianna had affair with their pastor, lawsuit says

About a year after he took a leave of absence from the Chicago Cubs, Ben Zobrist discovered his wife was having an affair with their minister, according to court documents.

The minister was also accused of defrauding Zobrist's charity foundation, for which he worked.

The 40-year-old Zobrist made those allegations in a lawsuit filed on his behalf in May in a Tennessee circuit court. Last week, the Journal Star obtained a copy of the lawsuit.
