Terrible news coming out of Florida today: Blue Jays' pitcher
Joe Kennedy died this morning of a currently unknown cause.
His agent confirmed the news and the A's (who he pitched for from 2005 until August of this season) have released a statement:
"The entire Oakland's A's organization sends our thoughts out to Joe's family," said Oakland assistant general manager David Forst. "He was a valued member of our organization for almost two years, and certainly a guy we loved having around.''
This is really tragic and shocking news, especially given the timing. As mentioned above, there's no official cause given yet, though
some sources are indicating it may have been a brain aneurysm. Anyways, keep his family, including his wife and young son, in mind today. Condolences go out to them and all of Kennedy's family. RIP, Joe.

My condolences to Joe Kennedy's family. Grieving the loss of his earthly presence with family and friends is a natural process of life going on. Joe answered the call to go home to our creator and he will be there to welcome his family and friends when they are called. "In my Father's house there are many mansions."
