Major League Baseball suffered a tragic loss on Sunday morning. Marlins All-Star pitcher Jose Fernandez was killed in a boating accident along with two yet unidentified friends. In the aftermath, the Marlins' game Sunday against the Braves was rightfully cancelled.

In lieu of the game, the Marlins held a press conference at 12:30 p.m. Eastern. President David Samson was flanked by general manager Mike Hill and manager Don Mattingly at the table, but the entire Marlins team was also standing around the table.
