The Twins told Neal they are "aware of the allegations and trying to gather information."
Elย Nuevo Diarioย noted that Sano, who postponed a Wednesday news conference, and his three friends had beenย summoned to the San Pedro prosecutorโs office Tuesday but did not go "because the request came too late for him to act."

According to Neal, Ramos said a hearing has been scheduled for June 25.ย
Sano has spent his entire MLB career with the Twins. He signed with the team as an international free agent in 2009 and made his big-league debut in 2015.ย
