'Missing' might be too sensational a description, at least based on the original article. They searched the home he was raised in, then the home he owns where his wife lives, and he wasn't at either one, so they left phone numbers with his wife with instructions for Wander to contact them.

At least it's good to know that some sort of investigation is still on-going.

According to this article the raids were in connection with yet more evidence "implicat[ing] Franco in the accusations that have been made against him of alleged relationships with minors." :yikes:

You have a versatile defender who can play behind the dish, multiple infield positions, gives you a right handed bat for the outfield AND he started pitching last year. Wow, talk about a no brainer!

If he gets 300-400 PAs in spot start duty at like 4 positions that's a smart play. If they decide he's the platoon 2B against lefties all year, hahaha. Lol. Lmao.

The Jays already have a cheaper version in Espinal who at least has a history of good seasons with the bat. They didn't need this signing at all just so they could have a garbo righty in the outfield.

Go sign an actual outfielder!!!

the blue jays are totally going to use IKF as a utility guy and not as an excuse to not sign anyone at 3B, for sure

The thing is they don't need a right handed utility infielder unless Espinal is playing full time which yikes!

If you really wanted a platoon outfielder go get Michael Taylor for the same contract

Today’s entry in “jackass who no longer covers baseball but still has a HoF vote he uses poorly” is Marcos Breton.

He voted for Jones, Manny, ARod, and Wagner last year. Dropped all four of them for Beltran and Beltre this year. Unclear if he understands this is Sheffield’s last year on the ballot.
