Dodgers acquire OF Shane Victorino from Phillies
Posted Tuesday, July 31st 2012 @ 12pm
Nearly eight years after losing Shane Victorino to the Philadelphia Phillies in the Rule 5 draft, the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired the switch-hitting outfielder Tuesday morning near the trading deadline.
In exchange for reliever Josh Lindblom and Double-A right-hander Ethan Martin, the Dodgers added Victorino to play left field and bat leadoff less than a week after trading for Miami Marlins third baseman Hanley Ramirez.
