As Phillies Nation celebrates the career of Jimmy Rollins in November, it appears that the franchise could have eyes on acquiring one of today’s elite shortstops.
Jon Paul Morosi of MLB.com says that the Phillies are among a slew of teams interested in potentially trading for Cleveland Indians’ shortstop Francisco Lindor, a group that also includes that New York Yankees, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays and St. Louis Cardinals.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today has previously reported that the Indians expect to trade the four-time All-Star shortstop before opening day.
