| Jimmy Rollins reportedly dealt to the LA Dodgers |
Goodbye Jimmy Rollins. The Phillies have reportedly traded their shorstop and team leader. I’m not surprised at all. And yet it’s still a bit of a shock.
Just yesterday at around 4:20pm, I published an article here at TBOH titled “Utley and Rollins Going Nowhere“, flat-out stating that I didn’t believe that either Jimmy Rollins or Chase Utley would be traded, at least right now.
I was wrong. Rather, I read the consistently mixed messages coming from the Phillies wrong.
I had actually based my statement on one made by Ruben Amaro. The Phillies GM had stated that neither player was willing to waive their 10-and-5 rights, calling it a “challenge” when talking trade with other teams.
Amaro had gone into even more detail
