That makes me sad. I wanted to see him beat his problem.

But I was okay with the Reds trading him because I wasn't confident he would beat it.

And with the news from your post, it looks like a case can be made that if he divorces, and support system weakens, that he might weaken. Definitely sends up a caution flag and means the jury is still out on him relapsing.
