Former Florida Marlins pitcher Livan Hernandez filed for bankruptcy in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida yesterday according to a report from the Miami Herald. Hernandez, a two-time MLB All-Star, owes up to $1 million to as many as 50 different creditors according to the report. The 42-year-old former pitcher enjoyed a 17-year career in the MLB and is estimated to have earned around $53 million during that time according to his Baseball Reference page. According to the Herald, the paperwork shows Hernandez’s debts are largely IOUs to various businesses.
