Wilson Ramos, a 24 year old catcher for the Washington Nationals, has been kidnapped in Venezuela. From the Washington Post:

Four people, armed, went into Ramos’s family’s house Wednesday night and took Ramos, and only Ramos, out of the house, put him in a green vehicle and sped away, according to multiple news reports out of Venezuela. Ramos’s family has not established communication with the kidnappers, the reports said.

Unfortunately, Major League Baseball is no stranger to kidnappings in Venezuela as both Victor Zambrano and Ugueth Urbina’s mothers were kidnapped in the last 10 years.
