Not sounding good. Not many details except "catastrophic organ failure."

Holy shit, that's terrible.

His younger brother has passed away at some point not too long ago. Parents should never ever have to bury their children...much less two of them. So sad.

I didn't want to say it earlier, but that was my first thought. 

[Pedro Cerrano]

I mean. Not many things can cause a massive organ failure at age 29.

Keep hearing it from club execs: Ian Kennedy, who had a 4.28 ERA w/31 HRs allowed in 168 IP for SD in 2015, should take the qualifying offer

HIs agent is Scott Boras, so that's not happening. I think Marco Estrada, Kennedy, Wieters, Anderson, and to a lesser extent Rasmus (he's in a very hitter-friendly ballpark so a gamble would likely pay off) should each at least consider accepting the QO. Don't think anyone will though.

Worth noting about Estrada: He hasn't make that much money in his career. He's *only* made about $10,000,000. Jays want him at a multi-year deal. It's all about Estrada deciding between taking the one year and $15,800,000 or accepting the security of the multi year deal.

Somebody was going to be the first.

Simmons to the Angels for Erick Aybar, Sean Newcomb, and Chris Ellis.
