Jesús Montero has sadly died.
The former MLB player, who played for both the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees, passed away at the age of 35.
His death was caused by injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago, per the Seattle Times.
“The Yankees are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jesús Montero. We send our sincerest condolences to his family & loved ones,” the Yankees wrote on social media.
Jesús was reportedly riding his motorcycle when he was hit by a pickup truck, per Venezuelan media.
He was first signed by the Yankees in 2006, becoming one of the best prospects. He debuted with the team in 2011. He then played from 2012 to 2015 with the Mariners. He was signed by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2016, and the Baltimore Orioles in 2017 on their minor league teams. He later played for Sultanes de Monterrey and Generales de Durango before being released.
Our thoughts are with Jesús Montero‘s loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. RIP.
We have sadly lost many stars in 2025.
