[FONT="]Former Red Sox star Hanley Ramirez is facing serious legal issues.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Ramirez is being “eyed” over his potential connection with an ongoing federal and Massachusetts state investigation regarding the distribution of fentanyl, according to ABC News’ Michele McPhee.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]McPhee explained on Boston radio station WAAF that a person was recently pulled over while carrying 435 grams of the substance and told authorities Ramirez was somehow connected to the drugs.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Ramirez hasn’t been on an MLB roster since being released by the Red Sox on June 1.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]The team’s VP of Media Relations, Kevin Gregg, told the Boston Globe on Friday that getting rid of Ramirez was strictly “a baseball decision.”
[/FONT]
[FONT="]“The Red Sox are unaware of any investigation involving Hanley Ramirez,” the Globe reported.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Boston only discovered Ramirez was being investigated after a reporter reached out to the team for comment, according to MassLive.com.
