Wander Franco took to social media to refute his claims. This guy obviously isn't the best at making decisions. His career is about to be over and he's going to be on probation for a while.

I saw that. Going on IG Live and denying everything is something I’m sure he spoke with others about before doing, and it's an extremely advisable course of action to continue speaking about it in public.
Ugh. I'm sure people in the Rays' front office are examining that 11-year contract they gave him two years ago with a fine-toothed comb, while also guzzling Maalox like it's candy. I wouldn't want to be anyone in that org today.
Oh, I thought you were going to say he hasn't hit that many home runs total since leaving the Marlins. 
But I wonder, if all that is only because Angel sucks donkey-balls, why didn't they leave a few other choice umps out of the WS?
Somebody check on Mr Laser Beam after having to watch a week of a Yankees and Mets baseball.

Now the DR government is getting involved in this thing with Wander Franco…

Yes, why wouldn't it, when the alleged crimes took place in the Dominican Republic?
The Giants offense sucks a lot and while they are in playoff contention, I have a feeling they won't be come September 1st (Hell, maybe even by the end of the weekend since they are going to Atlanta). However, yesterday's game only produced one thing of entertainment, which was Luke Raley's Inside the Park HR. The ITP Home Run really is the most exciting play in Baseball and that Kerum off the wall was crazy. I'm surprised with the Bricks it actually doesn't happen more.
Héctor Gómez, who is one of the most plugged-in and well-respected writers when it comes to legal stuff in the Dominican Republic with baseball players, says he's been told that it's highly unlikely Wander Franco ever plays in MLB again. Per the attorney general of the Dominion Republic, a second minor has filed a complaint against Franco.
For those unaware, the Dominican Republic has an infamously harsh criminal justice system. A while back, a bunch of Canadian pilots had to do a year in jail for reporting a load of cocaine they discovered in the cargo hold during pre-flight inspection.
I'm sure the Rays are ecstatic that they handed out an 11-year deal to a guy who's been raping kids the last few years.

Wow, that's fucked up. Good riddance to him.
I just didn’t know it was so deep that the gov’t had gotten involved.
The Department of Justice, and law enforcement, are part of the government in the Dominican Republic. It's the same in the United States; I'm an Iowa resident, but if I commit a crime in Illinois, the Illinois cops and state's attorneys are going to handle my case.
Franco's alleged offenses took place in the Dominican Republic, so Dominican Republic law enforcement has gotten involved. I don't really understand your confusion. Were you expecting United States cops to be investigating multiple allegations of child rape in the DR?
My beloved St. Louis Cardinals are a complete and utter embarrassment this year. Poor Wainwright may not get the final two wins that bring him to wins 199 and 200. The whole front office needs purging, from top to bottom. Of course, they've been running on dumb luck for over a decade.
I thought they were running on the "Cardinal Way".
North, south, east, or west?
