Regardless of our rivalry, it should always be set aside when real life kicks someone in the ass like this. Our deepest condolences to the Vesia family.

Damn. RIP. That fuckin sucks.
He’s a great player, but it’s more important that he be a great husband and father. He and his family have my respect and condolences.
Truly awful news. I can’t image what he and his family are going through right now.
ugh…every parent’s nightmare
what a horrible thing to endure
Probably one of the worst things someone can go through. Hope they have support during this time
That is fucking brutal, wish him and his family the best
Ouch, that’s terrible.
As a Giants fan, my prayers and sincere condolences goes out to Vesia and family.
This was always the fear and I’m sad to hear it’s true. My sympathies are with him and his wife. Rest in peace Sterling.
I cannot imagine the heartache that comes with such a loss. It is understood that the baseball community will always come together to all those that feel kicked down.
Condolences to the Vesias. I feel their heartache and hope they get through the upcoming holidays as best they can.
Terrible news. 🙁
Really not the news you would ever want to hear. My deepest condolences
I can’t even imagine the pain. Love to the Vesia’s.
God damn, no wonder he missed it, and I can’t blame him. The worst news a parent could ever receive. I can only imagine that the pain will never go away, but I hope the Vesia’s can find the peace they’re looking for down the road.
I love the gesture the Blue Jays made when they all wrote Vesia’s number on their hats. At the end of the day, it’s just a game, and caring for your neighbor always makes you a winner in my book.
I thought it must be that. Just absolutely devastating.
Hate the dodgers but having gone through the same thing…its something I’d never wish upon my worst enemy
One thing that im amazed by, unless of course I missed it, is outside of probable speculation given the circumstances, no one in mlb leaked that this was the cause of his absence. I would think that at least most of the dodgers knew exactly what the family was dealing with and likely players on the blue jays as well in addition to just friends and family. But no news or reporters were reporting that “inside information or anonymous sources tell us …”
Which is extremely impressive/astonishing in the instant information media age we live in. Faith in humanity slightly restored with that perspective
Fuck, that’s awful. 😢
So sad. Terrible news
That’s heartbreaking to hear. Hoping they can find some sort of solace and have the support through tragedy
Sending lots of love to the Vesia family
That’s horrifying
That’s horrible. Hopefully his family recovers and seek help if they need it. That’s really, really sad and I feel for him and the mother.
Oh my heart aches for them I can’t imagine their pain right now. Losing a child is an unimaginable grief. I hope they get all the support they need
that is so sad.
Jesus that’s horrible, may the Lord hold her close 🙏
Fuck man, you hate to see it.
Between what happened to Marshawn Kneeland, and now this, those may be 2 of my most hated teams of all time but team hatred does not come before humanity. My sincere condolences to both Kneeland and Vesia and their families.
It never leaves you. I lost my eleven year old daughter in a tragic accident in 1999. I’m still mourning her loss. My heart goes out to him and his family. Losing a child is so hard. So much promise, so many “what could have been’s”.
