Franco's Retrial Delayed, Prison Time on Line

Wander Francos retrial for sexual abuse of a minor in the Dominican Republic has been postponed until mid-May, with potential implications for his future in baseball. The former Rays All-Star faces charges stemming from a relationship with a minor, and the trials delay is due to the girls mothers medical issues. Francos lawyers pushed for separate trials, but the judges denied the request. Prosecutors are seeking a five-year prison sentence if convicted, and the outcome of the trial, along with any visa issues or MLB suspension, will determine Francos future in the sport.
