Andy Slater of 940-AM WINZ reports that Jose Fernandez has been killed in a boating accident.

Further details aren't available at this time, but the report has been confirmed by Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. It's unfathomably tragic news. Fernandez turned just 24 at the end of July and, of course, had already been through plenty with what he experienced in defecting from Cuba. Our thoughts go out to Fernandez's family and the Marlins during this horrific tragedy.

This is so unfair. He could have been one of the greatest ever.

 

Forget his talent just yesterday he was on the Marlins bench with his teammates..... in less than 24 hours they'll never see him again..... we truly aren't promised tomorrow, this is so tragic

This is the greatest tragedy in baseball history.

 

Yeah it's up there... I have never been searching so vigorously on twitter to see if someone was going to post "Sorry my account got hacked" or "It's a different Jose Fernandez". This is different from Oscar Tavares too because Jose Fernandez was a show stopper. And I'm not specifically talking about his talent, he's very charismatic and had such a free spirit and passion for what he did. :(

Taveras had potential, but Fernandez realized it. Just a devastating, irreplaceable loss.

I'm sorry... I don't see the difference in this/Taveras or Adenhart's tragic deaths. I feel the same as I did when their stories broke. It's just awful news, they were all just kids.

Why was he out boating at 3am? This all seems so avoidable. Tavares too. Life is so fragile. Horrible news.

 

He was set to start today too, but his start got pushed back a day. It's probably fair to say if he hadn't been pushed back, he wouldn't have gone out last night.

Weird, how that works.:(

 

Such a bummer of a day now.

Horrible news. That being said, nothing good is going to come out of being on a boat at 3am.

 

 

Crashed into some rocks that jetted out from the shore. Speed was definitely an issue. Sad but so avoidable.
