Wander Franco is Crushing The Minors

The Tampa Bay Rays are in the middle of a battle with the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East and the best player on their team, Wander Franco, has been placed on the restricted list this weekend following social media posts showing him having the time of his life with a girl who looks too young to go on a school field trip without a signed permission slip.

I don’t speak Spanish but a lot of people are mad at Wander cuddling up to a girl who looks like she should be finishing the experiment she has to submit to her school’s science fair.

But not only is Major League Baseball investigating Wander’s lust for youth, Dominican authorities are also looking into his nasty behavior.

The investigations follow reported social media posts suggesting Franco was in a relationship with a minor. The Associated Press has not been able to verify the reported posts. Asked about Franco’s alleged relationship with the minor, the media office of the attorney general in the Dominican Republic said in a statement “there are investigations regarding that matter.”

But Wander Franco went on IG Live to defend himself. I would share the clip but again, it’s in Spanish. But here’s the translation brought to you by Google Translate:

“They say that I’m in public with a little girl, that I’m running around with a minor. People don’t know what to do with their time. They don’t know what they’re talking about. That’s why I prefer to be on my side & not get involved with anybody.”

I have no idea if Wander is out in these streets trying to hump girls after their JV soccer practice but from my research, the girl in the photos is at least 18 years old because she has old Instagram posts of her (literally) drinking and driving. And photos with a baby.

According to the alleged victim’s Instagram (loredana_chevalier) she has multiple posts with her baby. She also has a post driving a car/having alcohol in possession. To drive a car and drink in the Dominican Republic you have to be 18.

It’s possible this woman is either an underage girl or she’s like, still a teenager but not THAT young of a teenager. Either way, this doesn’t seem like the type of woman you should be attaching yourself to when a billion-dollar organization is relying on you to be the face of their company.

Everyone date girls who look an appropriate age and who behave appropriately. Like, try to avoid dating girls who post photos of themselves drinking behind the wheel of a car with a baby in the backseat. Somehow, someway, you are going to get in trouble.
