MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Jose Fernandez made his major league debut against the New York Mets in 2013 and was scheduled to face them again Monday night.
Instead, Miami mourns and the Marlins must push on without their ace, who was killed in a boating accident early Sunday.
“Deep in our hearts there is a lot of pain,” third baseman Martin Prado said. “Somehow we’ve got to overcome that.”
Fernandez and two other men – Emilio Macias and Eddy Rivero – died when their 32-foot vessel slammed into a jetty off Miami Beach, authorities said. The capsized boat was found shortly after 3 a.
