Rangers officially acquire Guzman from Nationals

Baseball Betting Lines

07/31/2010 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Texas Rangers officially acquired infielder Cristian Guzman from the Washington Nationals on Saturday.

The move had been in place Friday, but could not be announced until Saturday because Guzman needed to approve the trade. As a 10-and-5 player -- 10 years in the majors, with the last five spent with one team -- Guzman had the right to veto the deal.

The Rangers' acquisition of Guzman helps to offset the loss of second baseman Ian Kinsler, who was placed on the disabled list this week with a strained left groin. Texas had already acquired Jorge Cantu from the Florida Marlins on Thursday.

Guzman, 32, hit .282 in 89 games with the Nationals this season, playing mostly second base. But over 11 seasons with Minnesota and Washington, Guzman has primarily been a shortstop. A two-time All-Star, Guzman owns a career .272 batting average and .308 on-base percentage with 62 home runs and 466 RBI.

Guzman will be in uniform and available for Saturday's game against the Angels. To make room for him on the roster, the Rangers placed infielder Joaquin Arias on the 15-day disabled list with a strained back muscle.

In exchange for getting Guzman, the Rangers sent minor league right-handers Tanner Roark and Ryan Tatusko to the Nationals.

Roark, 23, had spent this season at Double-A Frisco and went 10-5 with a 4.20 earned run average in 22 games (17 starts).

Tatusko, 25, was 9-2 with a 2.97 ERA in 24 games (13 starts) at Frisco.
