Tampa Bay Rays' shortstop Wander Franco faces charges for illegal firearm possession after an armed altercation in the Dominican Republic, involving a gun registered to his uncle.
Following a dispute regarding Franco's relationship with a woman, he was arrested with a Glock and 15 rounds of ammunition found in his vehicle, raising serious legal concerns.
Franco's legal troubles extend beyond firearm charges, as he faces a trial for sexual abuse and human trafficking with a potential sentence of up to 20 years.
The incident has led to Franco's indefinite leave from MLB, compounded by his status on the restricted list amid serious allegations involving a minor.
