(Reuters) - Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins has agreed to a three-year, $33 million contract with an option for a fourth year, Major League Baseball's website reported on Saturday.
The contract could keep Rollins, 33, with the Phillies through the 2015 season.
"I'm glad that it's over," the 2007 National League's Most Valuable Player told MLB.com in a telephone call. "It usually takes time to get there, but we got there."
Rollins hit .268 with the Phillies last season, driving in 63 runs.
The three-time All Star said he had a four-year offer from the Milwaukee Brewers but decided to remain in Philadelphia because of his familiarity with the team.
