One insider says it's very unlikely Wander Franco will ever play Major League Baseball again (
source).
Is Wander Franco one of the players for whom thousands of dollars were paid for one of his rookie cards before he even made his Major League debut? I know Stephen Strasburg and Luis Robert fall into that category, but I don't recall if Wander Franco did (or any other players, for that matter).
If so... some poor soul out there is swallowing a very bitter pill these days. (Maybe "poor" isn't the way to describe him, but you know what I mean.) And, again, if so, let's hope this puts a stop to the practice. Something's not right when a brand new card of someone I've never heard of, who's still in the minors, sells for more than a decent '52 Topps Mantle.
