The family of deceased former pitcher Jose Fernandez is seeking to name his daughter Penelope as the sole beneficiary of his estate, according to Katie Strang of ESPN.com.

Per Strang, "Ralph Fernandez, who represents Fernandez's mother [Maritza], confirmed to ESPN on Monday that he plans to make this filing in court within the next week or two, adding another wrinkle to the ongoing legal battle over Fernandez's estate, which is worth an estimated $2 million to $3 million."

Ralph Fernandez (who isn't related to the family) and his legal team will also seek to make Maritza Fernandez the personal representative of Penelope.
