RIP, Oscar. This is such sad news. My prayers go out to his family, friends, and any one that knew him. Baseball is just a game. Such a sad day.

Only 22.

RIP this is so sad.

That really sucks to hear... reminds me of Nick Adenhart with the Angels a while back. Best wishes to his family and friends.

Wow, that's tragic. Way too young to die and with such a bright future.

That is absolutely terrible. I feel awful for his family, friends, and teammates. I couldn't wait to see how much of a stud he was going to be in MLB. Sad, sad, sad.

Just hit a big postseason home run a couple weeks ago too. Its a real shame.

Wow. What a tragedy. He was an unbelievable talent but it's just a game. RIP Oscar.
