Of course, the personal lives of ball players isn't really at the top of anyone's curiosity list, but the news of Burnett's divorce is making headlines today. According to Colin Cowherd, "A.J. Burnett went through a terrible divorce and he still might going through it. His wife was vindictive and spiteful. I don't even feel comfortable telling you everything. The stories are ugly" (via The Huffington Post).
Burnett had previously been a great asset to the New York Yankees, but last season, his performance seemed mediocre at best. Of course a major life changing event such as divorce can have an effect of the well being of a person in general. If Burnett was going through a really tough time with his (ex) wife, it's likely that it hastened his performance.
