The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired righthander  Kevin Mulvey from the Twins on a waiver claim for cash considerations. Mulvey is expected to join the Diamondbacks, who needed another pitcher after trading Jon Garland to the Dodgers yesterday.

In a related move, Twins sent cash, and not a player, to the D-Backs for righthander Jon Rauch.

So, if you read between the lines, Mulvey ends up being the player to be named later in the Rauch deal. The money is a wash.

Mulvey was 5-8 with a 3.93 ERA with Class AAA Rochester this season. He was one of four players the Twins received for Cy Young winner Johan Santana before the 2008 season.

In other news, Class A Fort Myers righthander David Bromberg was named Florida State League Pitcher of the Year. Fort Myers manager Jeff Smith was named manager of the year.

Joe C. is covering tonight’s game, so jump on over to his blog later this afternoon.Â
