Melisa Reidy-Russell, the ex-wife of Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell, will speak to Major League Baseball investigators regarding domestic violence allegations she made against him.
Per ESPN.com's Jesse Rogers, Reidy-Russell explained why she is ready to speak now after not wanting to speak with MLB about the allegations in 2017.
"Last year, when MLB contacted me, I wasn't ready," Reidy-Russell said. "I didn't know what was the right thing to do. I didn't even believe in myself enough to think I should do that (cooperate). I just left my husband and all this blew up.
