Indians land Cruz in trade with Blue Jays
Victor Cruz, 22, was acquired by the Cleveland Indians from Toronto at the winter meetings in Orlando. Manager Jeff Torborg called Cruz one of the best young relievers, with a fastball slider and sinker, and said he could be the stopper for a bullpen that blew 62 one run games last season. Cruz posted a 7-3 record with nine saves and a 1.72 ERA in 32 appearances after being called up from the minors in June.
