Rolen will be missed. He was having a very solid season. However, Alonso included or not this is a good trade for the Jays. The Jays were not going to compete while Rolen was under contract with them, so it made sense to try to move him. The bonus is that we got a major leaguer and two solid prospects.

"The Blue Jays dealt third baseman Scott Rolen to the Reds at Friday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, receiving third baseman Edwin Encarnacion, right-handed reliever Josh Roenicke and Minor League righty Zach Stewart in exchange for the veteran. Rolen waived his no-trade clause in order to approve the deal."
