    Jimmy Rollins has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, ending his 15-year stint with the Philadelphia Phillies, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney.

    The trade marks the end of Rollins' historic run in Philadelphia, where he spent his entire career. Rollins is the franchise's all-time leader in hits, at-bats and doubles, and was one of the key contributors to the Phillies' World Series championship run in 2008.

    The Dodgers had been seeking a veteran shortstop to replace Hanley Ramirez, who signed as a free agent last month with the Boston Red Sox, and bridge the gap until their top position prospect, Corey Seager, is ready.
