The Philadelphia Phillies have officially re-signed shortstop Jimmy Rollins to a three-year, $33 million deal, according to Major League Baseball’s official Twitter account.

The deal also reportedly includes a vesting option for 2015, which would allow the three-time All-Star to return to Philadelphia for his 16^th season.

During the Winter Meetings it appeared unclear whether Rollins, who has played his entire career with Philadelphia, would return in 2012. The 33-year-old reportedly wanted a five-year deal, however the Phillies were not willing to commit to him on a long-term deal.

Last season in 142 games, Rollins hit .268/.338/.399 with 16 home runs and 87 runs scored. The former National League Most Valuable Player has a career 162 game average of .272/.329/.432 with 17 home runs and 107 runs scored.

Free-agent shortstop Jimmy Rollins is reportedly close to a deal that will allow him to return to the Philadelphia Phillies, according to a tweet by Chris Singleton of ESPN.

“Got a pretty encouraging report from a #phillies person that a deal will get done with @jimmyrollins11 soon. #goodness,” the tweet read.

Yesterday, it was reported that Lozano met with the Philadelphia Phillies’ management late Sunday night in a meeting that “did not go all that well.”   Reportedly, Rollins is insistent on signing a five-year contract that the Phillies are not willing to commit to. According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports the two sides also met Monday night, but there have been no word of the progress made in that meeting.

A meeting between the Philadelphia Phillies and the agent of their longtime shortstop, Jimmy Rollins, “did not go all that well,” a source has told CSN Philadelphia.
