MESA, Ariz. - The Chicago Cubs are taking steps to "enhance" their domestic violence training and awareness in the wake of shortstop Addison Russell being suspended for 40 games late last year after violating the league's domestic abuse policy.
Russell will be a full participant in spring training but will sit out the first 28 games of the regular season to complete his suspension. In the meantime, the Cubs are making sure their entire organization is better educated on the subject.
