Jimmy Rollins has reportedly resigned with the Philadelphia Phillies according to the MLB Network. The deal is supposedly a 3 year contract with a vesting option for a 4th year. Money has not been disclosed yet. Big sign for the Phillies because Rollins was one of the longest tenured players, and means a ton to not only the city- but the team. We’ll be able to report a little more as details come in, but again- according to the MLB Network- it’s a done deal.
