Phillies send:
MI Rollins, Jimmy, $5.5m (2014)
X-MI Rollins, Jimmy, Cash Exchanged on Contract, $-3m in 2012
OF Byrd, Marlon, $5m (2012)
X-OF Byrd, Marlon, Cash Exchange on Contract through 2012, $-5m in 2012
for
OF Brantley, Michael, $0.5m (P-2013)
Phillies do this deal to get younger. Byrd was not going to be resigned and I do value Rollins but I need more help in the OF. This also saves me cap room for next year.
Thanks Jake for the easy negotiations
