Starling Marte speaks with the press about the sudden loss of his wife due to complications from a foot injury:

His first thought was he wanted to retire and didn’t want to play baseball. But the more he spoke with his Pastors and Priests from his Church, as well as his friends and family back home the more he felt supported to come back to the game, especially by his kids. He spoke several times during the call about the support network through his church, and his faith.
