Many have heard the news today that Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos was kidnapped from his home in Venezuela. He was abducted by four armed men who broke into his home Wednesday night.

It is definitely a scary situation for Ramos and his family, as well as his friends and teammates around Major League Baseball.

“Our foremost concern is with Wilson Ramos and his family and our thoughts are with them at this time. Major League Baseball’s Department of Investigations is working with the appropriate authorities on this matter. Both Major League Baseball and the Washington Nationals have been instructed to make no further comment. ”
Hopefully we can continue to get updates on the situation and make sure that Ramos is okay. I hate to see stuff like this happen to such a great athlete. Let's hope that we hear some good news on Ramos and get some positive information soon.
