Ryan Costello (Nov. 18, age 23)

Ryan Costello, Minnesota Twins prospect was found dead, at age 23, in New Zealand only days after joining the Australian Baseball League. Questions were being asked when Costello didn’t attend practice on Monday just days before the Auckland Tautura’s season opener. Costello was traded to the Twins last year in a deal that sent Zach Duke to the Seattle Mariners. Tautura claims that initial investigations suggest that Costello died of natural causes.
