Former pitcher Brad Halsey, 33, dies in climbing accident
Former major league pitcher Brad Halsey, who appeared in 88 games for three teams, has died at 33, according to his agent.
Halsey, who last pitched in the major leagues for the Oakland Athletics in 2006, was drafted and developed by the New York Yankees, and was part of a trade package that sent him to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for Randy Johnson. No cause of death was released by O'Connell Sports.

Halsey debuted in 2004 and shined in his first major league start, giving up two runs in 5 2/3 innings for the Yankees against the Los Angeles Dodgers. That was his lone win as a Yankee, as they traded him to the Diamondbacks - along with catcher Dioner Navarro and pitcher Javier Vazquez - in a deal for Johnson in January 2005.
Halsey gave up Barry Bonds' 714th career home run in 2006, pitching for the A's, his final season in the major leagues. Halsey pitched in independent leagues and most recently was back in the Yankees organization, reaching Class AA Trenton (N.J.) in 2011.
