It’s a bad day if you’re a fan of former Vermont Lake Monsters Addison Russell and Derek Norris, as both have been accused of domestic violence this week.

From the article:
Major League Baseball will investigate domestic violence allegations made against Cubs shortstop Addison Russell, BA correspondent Gordon Wittenmyer reports.
Russell’s wife, Melisa, posted about their relationship on social media and a friend commented on her posts, writing “Hateful is cheating on your wife, mentally and physically abusing her. Melisa didn’t want that out but I’ll say it. He hit her…”
It is the second allegation of domestic abuse in as many days MLB has said it will investigate. The ex-fiancé of Rays catcher Derek Norris alleged on social media on Wednesday that Norris “put her in a choke hold”, among other physical acts, in an Oct. 2015 incident. BA correspondent Marc Topkin confirmed MLB is investigating.
We obviously don’t know any more than that at this time. Russell is scheduled to have a bobblehead day at Centennial Field on July 24th.
