Free agent pitcher Kennedy dies

• Blue Jays' statement on Joe Kennedy

Free agent pitcher Joe Kennedy, who last played for the Blue Jays, died early Friday while at home in Florida.

"This is tragic and stunning news," Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi said in a statement. "It is difficult to express the emotions felt by the Blue Jays players and our organization. My sincere sympathies go to his wife, their son and the entire family."

ESPN.com, which first reported Kennedy's death, said that agent Damon Lapa told the website that the cause of death could not immediately be determined.

The Denver Post reported that, according to Lapa, Kennedy was visiting his wife's family in the Tampa area. He got up in the middle of the night and collapsed.

"The cause of death is unknown at this time," Lapa told FOXSports.com. "The best guess at this point is either a heart attack or a brain aneurysm. The way he died was sudden. There is no reasonable explanation for what happened."

The left-handed Kennedy, 28, was 43-61 with a 4.79 ERA in seven seasons with Tampa Bay, Colorado, Oakland, Arizona and Toronto.

He pitched for the A's, Diamondbacks and Blue Jays last season, signing with the Blue Jays on Aug. 29 after being designated for assignment by Arizona.

This is just a sad situation.

I was huge Joe Kennedy fan when he was with the D-Rays.  I thought he had great potential after his first season with them, but the D-Rays shifted plans for the millionth time and traded him out.

Condolences to his family and close friends.
