Just so tragic, Fernandez was one of the greatest young pitching talents in baseball. He meant so much to the Marlins organization, and the Cuban community in Florida. Was just so much fun watching him pitch and seeing the fun he had when playing. His story of leaving Cuba is pretty remarkable.
RIP

Geez, shocking news. Equivalent in talent as the Jays losing Stroman. Talent aside, really sad to see a young guy go tragically at the start of their life.
Saw pictures of the boat, must have been cruising along pretty quickly to go up and flip on a jetty like that. Were they boating at night? Sounds like they were found early in the morning.
Brutal news, especially after seeing that Instagram pic of his girlfriend. Sad.

Time will pass, the game will heal, and new stars will rotate through baseball, just as they have for over a hundred years. But nobody will forget Jose Fernandez. And I think the saddest thing of all is that just one day ago, the name “Jose Fernandez” made you think of things like passion, emotion, vibrance, dominance, greatness, and even history. Today, and forever, one of those words will now be tragedy.
But my hope is that as time goes on, while the tragic end to his life cannot be forgotten or removed from his story, that we can get back to a place where when somebody says his name, the first thing we think of is that smile. He was a superstar, he was an ace, he was the face of a franchise, and a beacon of hope for an entire country. But above all that, he was a 24-year-old kid who had the time of his life playing the game of baseball, which in turn made the game more fun for everybody else. That’s how I’ll remember him. Rest in peace, Jose Fernandez.
I have MLbtv so I wanted to watch the pre-game of the Marlins game and not very many dry eyes in the stadium. Some players were struggling more then others it seemed. Top of the 1st you can tell by the Marlins body language that a few of them just didn't seem into it. Then of course Dee Gordon who hasn't hit a HR all year hits his 1st homerun of the year and just broke down after he crossed home plate.
