OT- Dodgers Acquire Thome From Sox, Garland from D-Backs

The Dodgers completed a last-minute roster makeover before Monday night's deadline, acquiring Chicago White Sox slugger Jim Thome and Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Jon Garland. Both players will be eligible for postseason play.

In return, the White Sox will receive Minor League infielder Justin Fuller. The D-backs will receive a player to be named, who, according to several Dodgers, will be Tony Abreu, but Abreu needs to first clear waivers. Abreu once was considered a top infield prospect, but his progress was stalled by three years of injuries.

The right-handed Garland, 29, moves into a rotation that has struggled to find a fifth starter all season and has been further weakened by the loss of Hiroki Kuroda, who was hit on the head by a line drive.

It's not like Thome is gonna play every day. He's just a lefty bat off the bench, although a very good one.

Thome gives them a better DH option if they make the world series.
