Jim Thome Traded To Dodgers

Jim Thome gets traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers by the Chicago White Sox. He used to play as an infielder in the team. The Chicago White Sox received Justin Fuller instead of Thome. Thome is presently 39 years old while Fuller is much younger; he is only 24 years.
Along with Thome another important player of the team, Jose Contreras was also traded, but to the Colorado Rockies. This trading was announced by the team during the late hours of Monday.
It has also been found that the White Sox is sending adequate money to the Los Angeles Dodgers in order to cover at least part of Thome’s salary.
Interestingly enough John Garland who was a team mate of Thome in the Chicago White Sox a few seasons back, has also been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers and once again the audience will have the opportunity to watch them playing together.
Reportedly, Thome has mentioned in this context that he would help the team (Los Angeles Dodgers) as much as possible on his part. For Dodgers, Thome is an advantage as he has ample experience in the field and the team believes that they will be able to utilize his skills in an apt manner. Thome is well known for his consistency in performance and over the years he has matured as one of the strongest hitters in the history of the game.
On the other hand, Justin Fuller would be under scrutiny of fans and media and only future would tell whether Fuller is able to contribute as much as Thome had for the Chicago White Sox.
