Jimmy Rollins has cleared trade waivers. Yankees and Cardinals are both rumored to be heavily interested.

55, Rays are in LA this weekend. You guys need to take the first with Price on the mound, because it will be difficult going against Greinke and Kershaw back to back nights

No idea if Rollins is going to forfeit 5-10 rights but could be interesting.

Rangers get Alex Rios for Leury Garcia. Great trade for Texas.

Edit: Now they're saying Rios for PTBNL or cash.

It's moot. Rollins has already come out and said he will refuse to be traded anywhere. Said he has Phillies records he wants to set before he ever leaves here, and until he accomplishes that he isn't going anywhere. Talk about a guy only playing for himself anymore. Rollins used to be my favorite player, but that has worn off over the years with his laziness all over the field.

Rays/Dodgers is going to be a fun weekend, its too bad the Dodgers are going with a Sunday lineup tonight, since they got in at 3am. I would like to see both teams at optimum level.

and here's an interesting tidbit from a beat writer.

Opposing cleanup hitters for MLB’s hottest teams tonight were both in minors when season started: Yasiel Puig #Dodgers, Wil Myers #Rays.

The only thing holding the series back is the Angel Hernandez crew calling the games this weekend. So I am expecting a terribly officiated series.
