Cubs outfielder Jorge Soler tweeted his sadness over news of Fernandez's passing on Sunday morning.

"The world has lost an amazing baseball player and an even better person," Soler tweeted. "My heart goes out to Jose's family and the families of the other victims May they rest in peace." #RIP Jose Fernandez

Fernandez was only 24-years old and prayers out to his family and everyone in the Marlins organization.
