Former Chicago Cubs utility player Ben Zobrist is accusing his wife of having an affair with their former pastor. The 2016 World Series MVP filed a lawsuit last month against Byron Yawn, who is the CEO of a Nashville-area counseling firm and a former pastor and elder at Community Bible Church in Nashville. Besides having an affair with Julianna Zobrist, the suit also accuses Yawn of defrauding Ben Zobrist’s charity foundation. The retired major-league baseball player is seeking six-million-dollars in damages from Yawn. Ben and Julianna Zobrist each filed for divorce in 2019.
