There's a feeling around baseball that this might be the winter the money-conscious Marlins trade Dontrelle Willis, lest risk paying him about $9 million in arbitration.
When asked if he believed his buddy Willis would be traded, Rollins said, "I hope so. I hope we get him."
Rollins, 28, and Willis, 25, are both from Alameda, Calif., near Oakland, and were a few years apart at Encinal High School.
Rollins has heard Willis might go on the trading block.
"I've asked him, and he says he wouldn't mind coming [to Philadelphia] if the situation presented itself," Rollins said.
