Wander Franco found himself in trouble again, as he was arrested in the Dominican Republic after a parking lot incident involving firearms. The police are questioning him and a woman about what happened.
Whether Franco is allowed to have a gun remains unknown. At 23, he’s already facing serious legal issues, with a trial set for December 12 over allegations involving a minor. Authorities accuse him of various crimes, including sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
Franco’s career has taken a backseat since Major League Baseball put him on leave in summer 2023. He doesn’t get paid or earn service time now and isn’t on the Rays’ roster anymore.
Franco’s Legal Troubles:
Fans might wonder if Franco will ever return to baseball given these circumstances. His $182 million contract with the Rays from November 2021 now seems like ancient history when he was seen as one of baseball’s rising stars.
What do you think about all this?
