Wander Franco's trending, I wonder what he did this--oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It’s entirely possible this could be a blackmailing situation but those pictures are BAD

People are speculating from other Instagram posts that she lied about her age and blackmailed him but who the hell knows at this point since internet.

For those who don't know Spanish, can someone summarize what is in those Tweets? Was he sexting a 14 year old?

The Spanish suggests that Franco had a relationship with a 14 year old and he paid off the mother to keep it secret but it seems like someone in the family found out and is taking legal action

I’ve seen a million stories flying around from that to the 14 year old lying about her age and blackmailing him and everything in-between, just like every time something like this breaks. Definitely bad for Wander either way and I definitely would not want to be anyone in the Rays org today.

Lying about age is at best a lovely excuse for a college party hook-up, so completely inexcusable in a situation like this that its not even worth mentioning.

Uh, yeah, this looks bad. I’m not defending him. That’s the excuse that always shows up and it’s generally bullshit. I meant that something bad definitely happened and oh boy can he go gently caress himself. The specifics are going to be murky until more comes out.

Baseball is generally pretty alright at handling this kind of poo poo, yeah? Like with that Pirates pitcher and Bauer, they never played again in the Majors. I think Wander is on one of those "face of the team for a decade" contracts though, I wonder how much the Rays executives are going to push back against it.

In this case it probably doesn’t get that far. Given the murky details we know so far and the uniqueness of the DR legal system (a bunch of Canadian pilots had to do a year in jail for reporting a load of coke they found during pre flight inspection) I think this might end up being resolved far far far before it becomes a major issue

The team should do their own investigation as far as I’m concerned

That and one game, which the Hall specifically says you're not supposed to vote people in over one game but :shrug:

e: also I guess he didn't technically get voted in

who was that super crusty old guy who was a massive Morris stan and also hated Blyleven? He had a website of his baseball rantings that looked like it was made in the mid 90s

This is from pages back but that was Murray Chass who is amazingly still alive but his baseball blog-that-is-definitely-not-a-blog-you-loving-kids isnt around unfortunately

He turned in a blank ballot in 2017 (the year Bagwell, Pudge and Tim Raines got in) and 2022 (David Ortiz) so he's still a crusty old rear end in a top hat

Also Wander Franco can get hosed if this is true

It would be pretty funny if the Mets have to let Alonso walk because him and Lindor (who I have always thought was highly annoying) hate each other. What a clusterfuck. That trade and signing was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo bad.
