According to multiple reports out of Venezuela, former Brewers right-hander Ruben Quevedo has died at 37 of an apparent heart attack.

Quevedo pitched for the Brewers from 2001-'03, posting a 11-20 record and 5.66 ERA in 45 games (43 starts). Prior to that, he pitched one season for the Chicago Cubs in 2000, going 3-10 with a 7.47 ERA in 21 games (15 starts).

The Brewers acquired Quevedo from the Cubs on July 30, 2001 in a trade that sent reliever David Weathers to Chicago. He was granted free agency after the 2003 season and signed with Baltimore but never returned to the majors.

Quevedo last pitched professionally in 2008 for the Aragua Tigers of the Venezuelan Winter League. That club posted a tweet Wednesday about his passing, saying it joined the mourning of his death.
