Dodgers acquire Jim Thome

SI.com's Jon Heyman (working around the clock, as usual) is reporting via Twitter that the Dodgers have acquired Jim Thome in exchange for Justin Filler. In a corresponding move, the White Sox sent Jose Contreras to the Rockies for  Brandon Hynick, a 16 game winner in 2007 who currently has 10 wins with a 4.44 ERA in 27 starts. 

A so-so fall back after missing out on Jon Garland.
