Russell Martin added to the growing list of star players to emerge from the Great White North from Canada.

The Catcher debuted for the Dodgers in 2006 and was an All-Star the next two years, collecting a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger in the process.  Martin joined the Yankees as a Free Agent in 2011, adding a third All-Star, but began to struggle with his Batting Average, though he reclaimed that in Pittsburgh, a team he joined in 2013.

Martin signed with his hometown Toronto Blue Jays in 2015, adding a fourth All-Star, and while his BA and OBP dropped again, he had back-to-back 20 Home Run years for the Jays.  Finishing his career with the Dodgers in 2019, Martin left the game with 191 Home Runs, 1,416 Hits and was a six-time leader in Runners Caught Stealing.  

Melky Cabrera was a competent Centerfielder who had nearly 2,000 Hits over his career.

Beginning his MLB career with the New York Yankees in 2005, winning a World Series in 2009, but bounced around to three different teams in three years, Atlanta in 2010, Kansas City in 2011, and San Francisco in 2012.  The 2012 season was bittersweet for Cabrera, as he went to the All-Star Game and was batting .349 before he was suspended 50 Games for PEDs.  The Giants won the World Series that year, and Cabrera received a ring, but he was not on the team during the playoffs.

Cabrera bounced back and had productive years with Toronto and Chicago (AL) before finishing his career with a second stint in Kansas City, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh.  

From Venezuela, Martin Prado played most of his career with the Atlanta Braves, usually at Third Base; However, he was so versatile, he played at every position except for Catcher, Pitcher, and Centerfield.

Prado first made the Majors with the Braves in 2006 and stayed there three years later.  In three of his full years in Atlanta, he batted over .300 (.295 overall in ATL) and was an All-Star in 2010.  With six straight years with at least ten dingers, Prado had a bit of power, hitting 100 Home Runs over his career.

Prado also played for Arizona, New York (AL), and Miami and collected 1,542 Hits over his career.

Mark Trumbo was the 2011 runner-up for the American League Rookie of the Year to Tampa’s Jeremy Hellickson, and in that year, the Angels’ First Baseman hit 29 Home Runs.

Trumbo would not be a balanced player, but he did have a solid power game over his career.  He went to the All-Star Game in 2012 and had 30-plus HR years in 2012 and 2013.  Traded to Arizona in 2014 and to Seattle the year after, Trumbo struggled with those teams, but he enjoyed a renaissance with the Baltimore Orioles, the team he was traded to before the 2016 Season.

His first year in Baltimore was by far Trumbo's best.  He smacked a league-leading and career-best 47 Home Runs, went to his second All-Star Games, and earned his only Silver Slugger.  Trumbo's skills eroded after that, but he still hammered 218 Home Runs over a ten-year career.
