Cleveland Indians: Former Indians Infielder Andy Marte Dies in Car Crash

Baseball fans woke up to some rough news Sunday morning, as two deaths were reported out of the Dominican Republic.

Yordano Ventura‘s name is the most recognizable of the two, as he was a rising star for the Kansas City Royals. He was just 25 years old.

Andy Marte is a name remembered by Cleveland Indians fans, as he was a top prospect in the organization after being acquired from the Boston Red Sox in 2006. He never panned out to be a star, but was still a fixture on the roster in the late 2000s.
