A statement from the League says the five-time All-Star passed away on Saturday, “reportedly after suffering a stroke while battling kidney issues.”
Fernandez played in the Major League from 1983 to 2001, including 14 seasons with the Blue Jays. He is Toronto’s career leader in games (1,450), hits (1,583) and triples (72).
