Very sad news to share.....

Incredibly said news to report tonight. #Guardians 20yr old © prospect Andres Melendez has passed away. Melendez born in Barquisimeto, Venezuela came over to Cleveland in a trade for INF Mark Mathias in 2019. He spent the entire 2021 season with (Low-A) Lynchburg.

How in the bloody blue blazes does a 20-year-old who is presumably in excellent physical shape just pass away?

Unsure but if I learn of the cause I will share it...

car accident? any of a number of ways. I think it's good for any of us to withhold judgement or not jump to conclusions until we know more. "has passed away" is pretty common to say when COD is not known.

Accident (not likely, or we probably would have heard unless it was something like carbon monoxide poisoning), medical (brain aneurysm, happened to a cousin of mine when she was 19), overdose, suicide. I really hope it is medical and something that can be rationalized (undiagnosed aneurysm) and not the last two. I heard the other day that enough Fentanyl was smuggled into the US this year to kill every single US citizen.

could be COVID...

[StearnsFTW]

Yeah, it could be, but pretty much everything else is more likely.

mark mathias has been reassigned to minor league camp.
