Major League Baseball acknowledged the verdict and stated it would conclude its investigation later.

The suspended player faces charges of sexual abuse involving a girl who was 14 years old at the time.

With the team negotiating a deal that would make relocation unlikely, the lawyer and investor in the Orlando Dreamers says "the Tampa area does not compare with Orange County" for baseball.

After five hearings in which prosecutors and defense attorneys presented evidence, judges decided to suspended the trial. Franco faces charges of sexual abuse involving a teenage girl.

While the Rays unwind their stadium conundrum, Mayor Jerry Demings says he’s been approached by more than one group, but more details are needed as well as talks on how his county would benefit.

A handgun registered to his uncle was found in Wander Franco's vehicle after an altercation, say Dominican prosecutors, who filed the charge Sunday.

Evan Longoria and fans looked back on his decorated tenure with the Rays during a ceremony prior to Tampa Bay's game against the Miami Marlins.

Documents that prosecutors presented to the judge alleged that Franco, through his mother, transferred 1 million pesos, or $17,000, to the mother of the teenage girl to consent to the purported abuse.

The Tampa Bay shortstop has been charged with sexually abusing a minor, sexual and commercial exploitation against a minor, and human trafficking.

Franco was having an All-Star season with Tampa Bay in 2023 before Dominican authorities began investigating allegations he had been in a relationship with a minor and paid her mother for consent.

Bobbleheads, hats, shirts and drinkware will be among “thousands of items” available on Saturday. For $20, shoppers can fill a bag and get vouchers for two tickets to a Rays game at Steinbrenner Field.

The group seeking to attract a team - perhaps the Tampa Bay Rays - says John Morgan, founder of the Morgan & Morgan law firm, is also financially involved in the effort.
