Whether the Reds wanted to keep. Rolen or not is pretty much open to opinion. The fact is that it looks pretty certain that he is not going back, so that is at least some evidence that the Reds didn't want him. There have been various statements from the organization this off season that are subject to interpretation.
Opinions regarding the reasons for Rolen staying or going are no more unfounded than opinions held by some here that Robbie Cano will be signing with the Dodgers. In that case, there are no statements to interpret by the Dodgers or any other team. Any such statements would constitute tampering. Anyone stating that they think he will be with the Dodgers is clearly "making it up". But wait it's just an opinion so BFD.
