Damn. Don't know much about him but you still never like to hear news like this.
My best wishes go to his family and to the team to try and cope with this tragedy.
R.I.P.
Free agent pitcher Joe Kennedy, who last played for the Blue Jays, died early Friday while at home in Florida.
"This is tragic and stunning news," Blue Jays president and chief executive officer Paul Godfrey said in a statement. "It is difficult to express the emotions felt by the Blue Jays players and our organization. My sincere sympathies go to his wife, their son and the entire family."
ESPN.com, which first reported Kennedy's death, said that agent Damon Lapa told the website that the cause of death could not immediately be determined.
The Denver Post reported that, according to Lapa, Kennedy was visiting his wife's family in the Tampa area. He got up in the middle of the night and collapsed.
"The cause of death is unknown at this time," Lapa told FOXSports.com. "The best guess at this point is either a heart attack or a brain aneurysm. The way he died was sudden. There is no reasonable explanation for what happened."
The left-handed Kennedy, 28, was 43-61 with a 4.79 ERA in seven seasons with Tampa Bay, Colorado, Oakland, Arizona and Toronto.
He pitched for the A's, Diamondbacks and Blue Jays last season, signing with the Blue Jays on Aug. 29 after being designated for assignment by Arizona.
