Three people familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press that Jimmy Rollins agreed to a three-year, $33-million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. The deal includes a vesting option for a fourth year.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday because the agreement is pending a physical.

"Gotta deal with me for 3 (4) more years!" Rollins wrote on Twitter.

Rollins is a three-time All-Star shortstop and the 2007 National League most valuable player. He has spent his career with the Phillies after being selected in the second round of the 1996 draft, and he was a free agent for the first time.

Rollins, who turned 33 last month, sought at least a five-year deal. The Phillies didn't want to go that long and were able to reach an agreement after the market for Rollins lessened.
