Let’s put hockey aside for a bit, because the following news is shocking on every level and worth telling.
Wander Franco is a Tampa Bay Rays baseball player. It’s not his batting average and his home runs that grab the attention on Sunday night.
Rather, it was allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a minor that made the rounds on the X platform, during his team’s game on Sunday.
The irony in all of this? It was a day when young people aged 14 and under could get a cap bearing his image.
The posts, which went viral Sunday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, allege that Wander Franco has been involved in an inappropriate relationship with a minor. #Rays #MLB

Franco didn’t take part in the game, but he left the dugout around the fifth inning and hasn’t been seen since. He was not present at the stadium after the match, the situation being quite nebulous.
MLB decided to launch an investigation into him as the post (which is hard to find) went viral. Team manager Kevin Cash did not provide further details on his situation.
Originally, the decision not to play Franco was due to the intention to rest him after 40 consecutive games played. But that’s the official version of the team. Who knows if it’s true?
Cash’s comments were limited to that, but he admitted to being aware of the allegations against Franco.
We will wait for more details on this subject, but for the moment, it does not bode well for the player of the Rays, who has been excellent since the beginning of the season. If this is all true, maybe his career could be over.
He recently signed an 11-year, $182 million contract. He is 22 years old.
The Florida team is taking the situation very seriously and will make sure everything is done right with MLB.
