Rays trade IL MVP Russ Canzler to Indians for cash...
While Canzler gave the team many reasons to call him up (.314 BA, 18 HRs, and 83 RBIs) last season (he did appear in three games in September), he just doesn’t fit into the 2012 roster. Have no fear, fans. Russ has a great chance of breaking out in Cleveland and becoming an everyday player.

The Hall of Very Good recently spoke with Mr. Fuld and learned of his five favorite holiday films. Even though there is no mention of A Muppet Christmas Carol...

“I can’t be more thankful to the Rays,” he said. “They took a chance on me when I was playing in junior college, and they had faith in me to give me my first big league experience, and without that, I wouldn’t be where I am.”
