The Tampa Bay Rays superstar shortstop Wander Franco finds himself in one of the MLB's biggest scandals as he has been accused of being in an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old girl in the Dominican Republic.
When the scandal broke on social media, the MLB and Tampa Bay Rays, as well as the authorities within the Dominican Republic took the allegations seriously. Some fans have already condemned Wander Franco, while others have struggled to believe not only the story but the age of the girl at the forefront of the scandal.
This case will likely take some time to reach its conclusion, however, no matter the result, even if Franco does not face any jail time, his name and reputation will be tarnished forever.
