Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was arrested in the Dominican Republic following a parking lot altercation involving firearms, raising serious legal concerns amid existing charges against him.
Franco remains on indefinite administrative leave from MLB over sexual abuse charges involving a minor and is set to go to trial on 12 December.
Already facing up to 20 years in prison on serious charges like sexual exploitation and human trafficking, Franco's situation has significantly impacted his professional career.
Franco's promising baseball career, including an 11-year, $182 million contract extension, is overshadowed by his legal troubles and the recent firearms incident.
