Wander Franco pulled from the Rays lineup as they investigate

This will certainly hurt his value in my fantasy baseball draft
Again, not knowing Dominican law, this doesn't appear to have been a compulsory summons. He apparently has the right to not answer questions. This story does mention that he just fired his legal team, which could mean he's replacing the current team with ones more skilled in criminal defense as a case is being built against him.

Depending on clauses in the contract, they might wait out a conviction. I would assume there’s some clause in there about being convicted of major crimes. If they were going for the best look, they’d have DFA’d him last year.Franco has been formally charged.

We will see soon enough. I imagine the legal system can move fast in the DR. Is slo wonder about a clause for a player who is unavailable. If he is subject to pre trial detention, or loses his ability to travel to the US that might be a contractual out.
It’s possible. In any event, I think a conviction seems really likely given the evidence he posted himself and the tack-on of child trafficking charges.
The two most talented players ever picked by the Rays:
Franco, who is probably going to jail and threw away his career/life to tap a 14 year old.
Josh Hamilton, who pretty much threw away his career because he was a drug addict.
Crapola.

Dumb. He could have pretty much any hot 18 or 19 year old with his millions for playing baseball. Threw it all away for a fricking 14 year old.
With all those crosses on him I think he got a little too deep into the secret catholic doctrine.
