context_section_description: On August 30, 2009, Belliard was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for minor leaguer Luis Garcia. Belliard said this about the trade:
  I'm happy because I'm going to L.A. and that team is in first place, but I'm sad because I am going to leave a lot of friends. I've been here for the last three years and I made a lot of friends. This late in the year, this wasn't in my mind.
  In his first at-bat as a Dodger, Belliard hit a home run against Doug Davis of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
  In 24 games with the Dodgers, he hit .351 with 5 home runs and took over the starting second baseman job from Orlando Hudson for the post-season.
  On January 26, 2010, the Dodgers re-signed Belliard to a 1-year $850,000 contract. He played in 82 games as a part-time player for the Dodgers in 2010, hitting .216. He was designated for assignment on September 7, 2010, and then released on September 9.
