Thu Apr 24 2014 | 17:44 | Sam Fuld doubles twice against Rays |
Sam Fuld went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in the Twins' 9-7 takedown of the Rays on Thursday. |
Fuld's Twins career is off to an amazing start. This is a guy who didn't have a single double in 176 at-bats for the Rays last year. He also went 30 at-bats without one in Oakland this season. However, since being claimed by the Twins, he has three in two games. Expect him to remain in the lineup against right-handers for the foreseeable future, giving him a little AL-only value. |

Sun Apr 20 2014 | 13:46 | Twins claim Sam Fuld off waivers from A's |
Twins claimed OF Sam Fuld off waivers from the Athletics. |
It's a good fit, as the Twins could really use some outfield help. With Aaron Hicks sporting an ugly .179/.299/.214 batting line, Fuld could wind up with a good amount of playing time in center field. He's only a career .233/.312/.334 hitter over parts of seven big league seasons but offers a good outfield glove. |

Sat Apr 12 2014 | 16:34 | A's designate OF Sam Fuld for assignment |
Athletics designated OF Sam Fuld for assignment. |
Fuld tallied two triples, a home run, and four RBI in seven games with the A's. He is a .233/.312/.334 career hitter in 841 plate appearances at the major league level but should still draw interest on waivers because of his defensive capabilities. Fuld was removed from the 40-man roster to clear a spot for Craig Gentry. |

A's non-roster invitee Sam Fuld went 2-for-3 against the Giants on Wednesday. |
Fuld, trying to make the team as a reserve outfielder, opened up strong, singling twice.

In the past, Fuld has been lackluster with the bat, providing more value with his defense and his baserunning. |

Athletics signed OF Sam Fuld to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. |
Fuld will make $800,000 if he's on the majors league roster and could earn an additional $100,000 with incentives. The deal includes opt-outs in late March or on June 1. The 32-year-old batted just .199/.270/.267 over 200 plate appearances last season with the Rays, but his speed and defensive ability could come in handy in a reserve role. |

Sun Jan 5 2014 | 16:36 | Sam Fuld remains open to returning to Rays |
Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports that free agent outfielder Sam Fuld remains open to returning to the Rays. |
The 32-year-old had a very disappointing season in 2013, slashing a brutal .199/.270/.267 with two homers, 17 RBI and eight stolen bases. He remains a top flight defender though with plus speed, and would make a valuable depth signing on a minor league deal. |
