Jim Thome Returns to Cleveland Indians: Nine years after he left, slugger Jim Thome returned to the Cleveland Indians after accepting a trade from the Minnesota Twins. "It was really a no-brainer," Thome said of his decision to return. Thome has 12 homers and 40 RBI in 71 games this season.

As a Twins fan, it is sad to see him go. He was really adapting to Minnesota, too.

Seriously, though, while he did fit in well around here, he deserves another shot at a ring, and while I don't think Cleveland is going to get there (Detroit's just too good right now), it is also fitting that Thome's career goes full-circle.

Thanks, Big Jim. Best of luck to you.
