One current and one former Major League Baseball player are dead after separate car crashes in the Dominican Republic.
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Yordano Ventura was killed in a car crash early Sunday morning. The 25-year-old was 11-12 last season and won a World Series ring with the Royals in 2015.
Officials also confirmed that former player Andy Marte died in his native country after a car crash Sunday. He played for several MLB teams before playing in South Korea.
