Chicago Cubs World Series hero Ben Zobrist is back in headlines this week after dropping a $6 million lawsuit against his former pastor, Byron Yawn, with whom his wife Julianna engaged in an extramarital affair.

“It’s a step in the right direction,” Yawn’s attorney, Christopher Bellamy, told the Chicago Tribune. “I’m suspicious for their reasons but I’m optimistic that he’ll continue to do the right things.”

The manner in which Zobrist withdrew the claim allows him to re-file within 12 months, but it remains to be seen if he’ll pursue that course of action.
