Tampa Bay Rays player Wander Franco is under investigation by the MLB after allegedly being in a relationship with a minor.
However, the Rays released a statement hours after Cash’s press conference.
“During today’s game, we were made aware of the social media posts that are circulating regarding Wander Franco,” the Rays said in a statement. “We take the situation seriously and are in close contact with Major League Baseball as it conducts its due diligence.”Franco has denied the claims and spoke out about the speculation during an Instagram Live on August 13.
“They say that I’m in public with a little girl, that I’m running around with a minor. People don’t know what to do with their time,” Franco said in Spanish. “They don’t know what they’re talking about. That’s why I prefer to be on my side and not get involved with anybody.”On Monday, August 14, the Rays placed Franco on the restricted list — which takes Franco off the active team roster.
