Worst news by far in a day of bad player news. Here’s hoping Tommy can beat this.

Second offseason in a row the game has lost someone way too young.
It’s a silly thing to remember, but Tommy Hanson was park of one of my most significant fantasy baseball trades several years back. He’ll be missed. :c

First his brother, now him. Can only imagine what his parents are going through.

Oscar Taveras was killed around this time last year if I remember. Now Tommy Hanson this year… Can we please go a year without a beloved player tragically passing away?? :'(

I saw him pitch down in A-ball just a few months ago. My prayers go out to his family.

What was the cause of death?

“Catastrophic organ failure”
What caused that, of course, we don’t know. I think our minds jump to Lamar Odom but it could be a great many other things, most of which aren’t partying related. First thing that jumps to my mind having dealt with stuff like this in the family is undiagnosed lung issues, which can start off cascading organ failures seemingly without warning.

As an Angel fan and a fan of baseball this saddens me. Gone too soon. My thoughts are with his friends and family.

Don’t do drugs and don’t drink and drive, folks. I liked Hanson and for some reason him giving up a solo shot to light-hitting Francisco Cervelli in a 1-0 game at Turner Field in 2009 always stuck out to me as the turning point in the Yankees’ last championship run.

I think its a little early to blame it on drugs or alcohol unless im missing a report. That said he has probably had a very rough time with the passing of his brother and his career.

If it was an OD situation I get the feeling they would have said as much versus “critical organ failure”.
