Some details of the report were expanded upon 98.5 the Sports Hub Friday.

"There has been some reports about a FaceTime phone call that was made between a man during a car stop," Michele McPhee, the ABC reporter who broke the story said. "After that car stop, police recovered a significant amount of drugs. And during that car stop, the suspect claimed that one of the items found in the vehicle belonged to Hanley Ramirez and then FaceTimed [Ramirez] in front of police. And that car stop coordinated with the timing of his release from the Red Sox.”

“There is a sweeping federal case involving a substantial ring that’s being operated out of Lawrence, Massachusetts,” McPhee continued. “And I think the suspect had ties to that ring.”

"The organization didn't know about this," Cora said. "I didn't know about this. I hope it's not true"
