Rays Officially Get Nelson Cruz from Twins
Nelson Cruz and Minor League pitcher
Calvin Faucher on Thursday, sending Minor League right-handers
Joe Ryan and
Drew Strotman to Minnesota in return.
Both pitchers headed to Minnesota are currently at Triple-A, with Ryan ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 10 prospect in Tampa Bay s system and Strotman ranked 17th.
Faucher, a 25-year-old righty at Double-A, was not ranked among the Twins top 30 prospects by MLB Pipeline.
A seven-time All-Star, the 41-year-old Cruz has shown no signs of slowing down this season as Minnesota s designated hitter, slashing .294/.370/.537 in 85 games entering Thursday.
The Twins are not sending any money to the Rays in the Cruz deal, a source told MLB.com s Mark Feinsand. Tampa Bay will assume the roughly $5 million that Cruz is owed for the remainder of the season.

Has Every Minnesota Kid Been Traumatized By The Dragon Coaster?
I couldn t ride a rollercoaster until I was in eighth grade and the peer pressure added up to a fever pitch on a school trip to Valleyfair. When I got home I told my grandma that I finally built up the courage to go on a rollercoaster and she was truly shocked.
I wasn t sure why I was scared of rollercoasters up until that day when my grandma explained that they had put me on the Dragon rollercoaster at the Kid s Midway at the State Fair when I was little and apparently it traumatized me for years and years after that.
