The latest on free agent shortstop Jimmy Rollins…
- Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said he thinks there's a "big chance" Rollins returns to the Phillies, tweets Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.
- Brewers GM Doug Melvin told Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel he met with Rollins' agent Dan Lozano at the start of the Winter Meetings, but no proposal was made.
- The Phillies met late into the night with Lozano on Rollins, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. No meeting is expected between the two parties today, but Lozano is a busy man with Albert Pujols and Carlos Beltran as clients.
If J-Roll isn’t willing to sign a 3 year with 4th option I say let him walk, Go hard for A. Ramirez to play 3rd trade Polly eat some of his money to get deal done and trade for a SS, Jed Lowrie comes to mind<
Victorino CF
Utley 2B
Pence RF
Ramirez 3B
Howard 1B
Mayberry LF
Ruiz C
Lowrie SS
Howards injerd. That means victorino is the best and lead of the team
Here comes a back breaking long term deal to another older player. Uh, Ruben is so in over his head at this
Their options are pretty limited…total sellers market for SS this winter.
The smart move is just go cheap at shortstop and look for deals elsewhere. Ancient lineup, no farm system until the lowest levels and everyone is signed up long term. This team will be epically bad in a few years
