Former Royals pitcher Edinson Volquez’s brother was reportedly stabbed to death in the Dominican Republic.
According to Quisqueyanos En Los Deportes, Brandy Volquez was stabbed in a barber shop in Santo Domingo. The report says that a suspect is in custody.
It was more heartache for Volquez, who signed as a free agent this offseason with the Miami Marlins.
Before his start in Game 1 of the 2015 World Series, Volquez’s father died at the age of 63 after dealing with heart disease. Eddie Volquez didn’t learn about his father’s death until after his start in that game.
