I think it comes down to the odd circumstances when the news broke, and the fact that Cory Lidle, especially after the trade, was a player that most people knew of, but that is about it. If it was a random journeyman guy, it would have probably been a lot of "sad" type coverage, and if it was a star it would obviously be different. Lidle is just kind of like "that guy," you know him but not, there isn't really a personal tie to him.

That might just be me though.
