It is time that the Cincinnati Reds had a serious discussion. A week ago, Kansas City Royals ace Yordano Ventura and former Cleveland Indians third baseman Andy Marte died in separate car accidents. Last off-season Saint Louis Cardinals outfielder Oscar Tavares passed away following his own car accident. This is more than a case of young men being young men.
That is three men in two years in the Dominican Republic and nobody else in MLB passing away from car accidents. In September, Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez died in a boating accident in Miami. That is somewhat different, but likewise tragic.
