I know the Cards are fed up with Rolen and vice versa but Troy Glaus? Glaus comes with just as many injuries as Rolen plus a steroid cloud. Troy is decent at third but not even close to Rolen but will be a better option protecting Pujols. Both players cost about the same so this deal could happen but I would hate to see it.The Cardinals and Blue Jays will swap Scott Rolen and Troy Glaus if the third basemen will waive their no-trade clauses, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports.
Glaus, who is believed to prefer the West Coast, may want some financial incentive for waiving his no-trade clause. Rolen figures to be less picky, as he just wants away from Tony La Russa. The two players would also have to pass physicals for the deal to be completed. Rolen has the more significant health concerns because of his chronic shoulder troubles, but Glaus is coming off foot surgery.
