TAMPA BAY FRANCO LEAVES POWER AMID ALLEGATIONS OF INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP WITH MINOR

Wander Franco, 22, a key infielder for the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball (MLB), has been suspended from the team amid allegations that he had an inappropriate relationship with a minor. “The Dominican Republic’s attorney general’s office said it has opened an investigation into Franco,” the Associated Press reported on Friday (Aug. 15), “MLB’s office has also opened an investigation and his team, Tampa Bay, has placed him on the restricted list.” “Franco will be suspended until the investigation is complete,” the AP added, “and will miss at least six games.” Recently, photos of Franco and an apparently underage woman have surfaced on social media, sparking controversy. Some have accused Franco of carrying on inappropriate relationships with minors .In response, Franco’s home country, the Dominican Republic, launched an investigation, and the MLB office and Tampa Bay launched their own 카지노사이트 investigations. Franco was a super-prospect who made his big league debut in 2021 when he was 20 years old .He shocked the league by signing a mega-contract with Tampa Bay in November of that year, worth up to $223 million over 12 years .Tampa Bay, which had been stingy with players, opened its wallet and made a splash. Franco hit .277 with six home runs and 33 RBIs in 83 games last season, and this season he’s batting .281 with 17 home runs and 58 RBIs in 112 games. If Franco is sidelined for an extended period of time due to personal issues, Tampa Bay will take a significant hit. Tampa Bay is 71-49 with a .592 winning percentage and is in second place in the American League East and first place in the wild card race.
