Looks like Jimmy Rollins illustrious 14 year career with the Phillies has come to an end. J-Roll was just traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Although the exact details of the trade have not been finalized it is all but a done deal.
The longest tenured athlete in Philadelphia who also has the most hits in franchise history was an key player in the Phillies 2008 championship. Also on his resume are 4 Golden Gloves, a Silver Slugger Award, Roberto Clemente Award, as well as being the 2001 National League Stolen Base Champion.
Rollins who was drafted by the Phillies back in 2000 is a California native and currently resides in New Jersey. Throughout his time in Philadelphia there were ups in downs in regards to fan relationships but overall he was a beloved athlete who kept it classy on and off the field. A leader in the clubhouse, J-Roll’s presence will sorely be missed. Here are a few career highlights. Thanks for the memories J-Roll!
SAN DIEGO - The Phillies, a team resigned to breaking down the roster that produced some of the franchise's greatest moments, started to rebuild Wednesday by trading the man with more hits than any other. Jimmy Rollins, the longest-tenured athlete in Philadelphia, is a Los Angeles Dodger.

Details of the trade - which could involve a third team - were still being finalized Wednesday evening, said a source familiar with the talks. Rollins, who earned full no-trade rights by spending 10 seasons in the majors and five with the same team, approved the trade.
It is a stunning salvo by Ruben Amaro Jr., the embattled general manager tasked with jettisoning his veteran players. Rollins, 36, had 2,306 hits in 15 seasons with the Phillies. He has been a member of the organization since June 4, 1996, the day the Phillies selected him with the 46th overall pick.
For Rollins, it is a sudden reversal. He predicted on Sept. 24, days before the 2014 season ended, that he would return to Philadelphia.
