[HeyChicago]

just saw on mlb network scott rolen to the reds

[Clapp]

What the fuck are the Reds thinking? I thought that rumor was made up weeks ago. He's under contract through next year... but he's also making $11 million. He's hurt all the time and old.

this is exactly the kind of player they don't need. walt jocketty is an idiot. the fact that dusty is still his manager proves that point.

sox trade la roche to atlanta for kotchman

[Coach]

Rolen would have to waive his no trade clause, but that doesnt seem to be a problem.

Is it possible that the Yanks gave up their #1 prospect in Austin Jackson for him?

That can't be true.

I can't see that. And I fully expect Hairston to suck in a pennant race.
