The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired right handed pitcher Jon Garland from the Diamondbacks and Jim Thome from the White Sox Monday night, in a last minute trade which has been described as a total roster make over by MLB.com’s Ken Gurnick. The news came to Garland about halfway through yesterday’s game. He knew a deal was brewing but was not certain about the situation.
“For me, born and raised in L.A., the chance to come back and play for the Dodgers, be right in the thick of a pennant race, it’s exciting.”
Jim Thome told the Dodgers he is not physically ready to play first base, but would love to contribute to the offensive lineup with his right handed bat.
