The MLB has recently placed Tampa Bay Rays prospect Wander Franco on the restricted list pending an investigation of his social media posts. This news has been met with shock and dismay by many in the baseball community.
Franco, who is considered one of the top prospects in the league, was placed on the restricted list due to posts he made on social media that were deemed inappropriate. The MLB has not released any details about the posts, but they have stated that they are taking the matter seriously and will investigate it thoroughly.
The restricted list is a special list created by the MLB that is used to place players who are facing disciplinary action. Players on the restricted list are not allowed to participate in any games or practices until the investigation is complete.
The MLB has not commented on how long the investigation will take, but it is expected to take several weeks. In the meantime, Franco will be unable to participate in any activities with the Tampa Bay Rays.
This news has been met with disappointment by many in the baseball community, as Franco was considered one of the top prospects in the league. He had recently signed a $7 million contract with the Rays and was expected to make an immediate impact on the team.
It remains to be seen how this situation will play out, but it is clear that the MLB is taking it seriously and will investigate it thoroughly. In the meantime, Franco will remain on the restricted list until the investigation is complete.
