Wilson Ramos update

According to SBNation's own Baseball Nation, Wilson Ramos is still alive. There is no word on if there is a ransom though. Personally, I think this might be a case of terror against the United States and Ramos is a good target because he plays for a team based in our nation's capital. Hopefully there is much less to this story, this is that speculation on my part, and he remains in good condition.

This case is alarming enough as it is

Can we not make up baseless FUD to go with it? Nothing indicates that this is a terrorist plot against the United States. Ramos isn’t even a US citizen.

[I recognize that I am falling into the “Someone is wrong on the Internet” trap, but seriously, let this be one story in which you don’t just make stuff up.]

My theory is that they rolled up to his parents’ house (or so ESPN said) and grabbed the closest person. Only realized later they had an actual MLB player. Feel free to link above image when replying to this post.

Yeah, I've wondered that too.

If they meant to take one of Ramos’s brothers, not Ramos himself, and now they are realizing they are screwed.

I just hope that doesn’t mean Wilson dies. :/

This makes more sense than a terrorist plot against the US

It might explain why the family hasn’t been contacted for ransom. Then again, if this is the “well-planned” kidnapping that the Venezuelan security experts are reporting, I doubt they screw up and take the wrong guy.
