Unconfirmed report says Yordano Ventura was robbed after crash

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 Star’s Vahe Gregorian that he’s aware of the report but did not comment further on it.

Yordano Ventura’s grandfather talked Pio Deportes and said details were not clear about what had happened after Ventura’s Jeep crashed, but that asked the authorities to investigate further.
