By Andrew Porter

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports, Phillies shortstop would accept a trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Heyman writes, "a person familiar with the situation said there's at least some chance it could happen."

The Dodgers are need of a shortstop after losing Hanley Ramirez to free agency.

The Phillies hope to acquire top prospects in return for Rollins, the franchise's hits leader, who has the right to veto any trade thanks to the MLB's 10-5 rule. Rollins, 36, has spent entire 15-year career in Philadelphia.

Rollins hit .243 with 17 home runs and 55 RBI's in 2014, while playing his usual stellar defense.
