Cristian Guzman - 2B - Washington Nationals
July 30, 2010 - 3:25 PM ET
The Rangers have acquired Cristian Guzman from the Nationals for prospects, according to MLB.com's Bill Ladson.
The Nationals definitely wanted to shed either Guzman or Adam Kennedy before the deadline. They're probably picking up the approx. $3 million that Guzman was still owed in order to make this happen. Guzman can fill in at second base for now and then slide into a utility role once Ian Kinsler returns. The Nats will go with Kennedy at second and Ian Desmond at short for the rest of the year.
