Gone at 56. Cancer sucks again.
Nice column from Buster Olney ...
Olney: Remembering Kevin Towers, baseball's 'man of the people'
Obit story:
Former Padres, D-backs GM Towers dies at 56
Former San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers has died after a battle with thyroid cancer. He was 56.
Barry Axelrod, Towers' friend and former agent, told The Associated Press that Towers died Tuesday at a hospital. Towers' wife, Kelley, was at his side.
Axelrod said Towers was admitted to a hospital with fluid on his lungs a few days ago, and friends and family members thought he would be able to go home Tuesday.
Towers was diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer in 2016.
