Reports are that former Tampa Rays star slugger Wander Franco was admitted to a mental health clinic. Police spokesman Diego Pesqueira said the request came from Franco’s family. Recently, Franco had made headlines accusing a hotel in Sosua of having stolen RD$1 million that he had left in the room.

Wander Franco was having one of the most successful careers and leading the Tampa Rays when in 2024 he became involved in a sex scandal with a minor. The court finally levied him with a two-year suspended sentence, but his baseball career in MLB seems to be ruled out.
