Disturbing but unverified details have emerged about the death of Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura.
A story in the Spanish-language site Pio Deportes said that journalist Euri Cabral reported that Ventura “was carrying items such as cash, garments that included his World Series ring and other valuable items, which were stripped” after the crash.
Royals general manager Dayton Moore told The Kansas City Star’s Vahe Gregorian that he’s aware of the report but did not comment further on it. It’s known by the Royals that Ventura’s mother, Marisol, seeks an investigation.
Yordano Ventura’s grandfather talked to Pio Deportes and said details were not clear about what had happened after Ventura’s Jeep crashed, but asked the authorities to investigate further.
