The Dodgers and White Sox have finalized the Juan Pierre trade, with the Dodgers receiving pitchers Jon Link and John Ely from the White Sox, per Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com. Link is on the 40-man roster, which brings the Dodgers' total to 36. Link has two option years remaining. Ely was drafted in 2007, and doesn't have to be placed on the 40-man roster (for protection in the Rule 5 draft) until 2011.
