Former MLB Outfielder Jeremy Giambi Dies at the Age of 47

Former major league outfielder Jeremy Giambi passed away Wednesday at his parents' home in California at the age of 47, the player's agent told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

Giambi played for six years in Major League Baseball. He was originally drafted by the Royals in the 1996 MLB draft and played for two years in Kansas City before the Athletics traded for him prior to the 2000 season. He spent over two years in Oakland but the team traded him to the Phillies in 2002. Giambi’s final year in the majors was with the Red Sox in 2003.
