Some details I don't think we had here yet in a new Athletic story:
"Franco denied the allegations in a live Instagram video on Sunday.
When the social media posts became viral on Sunday, Franco shot his Instagram video inside the Rays clubhouse roughly an hour before the game started, sources briefed on the matter said. The livestream featured teammate
Jose Siri in the background, yelling in Spanish that the allegations stemmed from “people after money.”
Sources briefed on the matter said the team was not aware of the video or any of the allegations until they spread around social media. When that happened Sunday, both Franco and the team agreed he shouldn’t go on the team flight to the West Coast that night."
