The Jimmy Rollins deal is still in limbo.
by Matthew Schultz | Mon, Dec 15th 4:04pm EST
It has been reported multiple times that the Dodgers have acquired Jimmy Rollins from the Phillies to fill the hole from Hanley Ramirez. But, the deal can't be finalized until the Matt Kemp deal goes through because the Dodgers are sending Zach Eflin who they are acquiring from the Padres to the Phillies. The main consensus is that these trades will become finalized since it would create a huge media disaster if they fell through. (Rotoworld )
Fantasy Impact:
The main concern about Hanley Ramirez this last season was his defense and his hitting consistency. So if the trade goes through, Jimmy Rollins would greatly improve the Dodger's lineup with his consistency since he is the Phillies' all time franchise leading hitter. Even if Rollins is not the same hitter he used to be, his defense will go a long way in improving the Dodgers infield.
