Indians decline Sizemore's option, pick up Carmona's

72

Not much more to say. Carmona will occupy $7 million on the 2011 payroll, and the club retain an 2012 option on him. Sizemore's buyout is $500,000, so the club saves $8.5 million by declining the option. Sizermore is now eligible for free agency. Brantley is now eligible to be our injury-prone center fielder.
