Diamondbacks acquired second baseman Tony Abreu from the Dodgers to complete the Jon Garland trade.
No word on if there was a resolution to the dispute between the two clubs about Abreu's service time, which allows him to file for arbitration a year early, in 2011, instead of 2012. The Diamondbacks were unaware of this at the time of the deal. Either way, Abreu should compete with Ryan Roberts, Rusty Ryal and Augie Ojeda to be the club's starting second baseman in 2010. Abreu hit .353/.385/.615 with 11 homers and 48 RBI in 218 at-bats for Triple-A Albuquerque this season.
