Please Don’t Hurt Wilson Ramos; Young Nationals Star Kidnapped
Wilson Ramos has been kidnapped in his hometown of Valencia, Venezuela this evening.
The 24-year-old Washington Nationals catcher traveled home for the offseason and was planning on participating in a few winter ball games with Tigres de Aragua beginning Thursday, until this horrific event took place.
According to multiple news reports out of Venezuela, four armed psychos entered the Ramos family’s house Wednesday night and took him. They put him in a green vehicle and sped away. At this point, Ramos’s family has not had contact with the kidnappers, who likely are seeking money in return.
Many of the kidnappings that take place in the country involve armed men driving their victims around until they are awarded cash before returning them. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Wilson and his family and friends while we pray for his safe return and justice against his captors.
We’ll keep this post updated as we hear more.
