Sounds like it was same crash, so I assume they were probably together. Seems like a stretch that it was randomly two baseball players. I am sure we will learn.

All premature deaths are sad, but pulls a little harder when it's these players from DR/Cuba that made it from nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if that was the reason. Certainly could have been but no reports yet. Police twitter had the pic. Car fllipped. Didnt look long tbough because they still had the bodies laying there.

reiks12 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not to turn this political or anything but someone needs to educate the young Latin players on being safe. I know its hard to expect maturity out of early twenty year olds but this is getting ridiculous. How? No idea but I am tired and sad of hearing about these young kids getting killed because of drugs and recklessness. I don't blame these guys since they probably came from nothing and have the world by the balls now. I did some really stupid stuff when I was in my early twenties. Still, how many more deaths will happen before solutions will be discussed? I never liked Ventura but this is depressing. My Royals friends are besides themselves right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Another cautionary tale. Every minor and major league camp should have an talk about money, speed, alcohol, and pictures of crash sites of Jose Fernandez's boat, and Yordano Ventura's vehicle. Nodody is immortal, and if you do dumb things impaired and going fast, you can die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyWhiteSox Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 MLB needs to do what's right and actually intervene and set up a comprehensive program to educate and support the players. It's not enough to just bring em over and fill their pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB will never be able to change that and quite frankly it's not their responsibly to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true, but it's another opportunity to educate and have the discussion. After the discussion, it's up to the individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the discussion, it's up to the individual. I think your idea to educate guys on the risks is fine, but after that I don't see how MLB should have any involvement.
