Brewers Expect Rollins To Sign With Phillies

By Tim Dierkes | December 7, 2011 at 7:57pm CDT

The latest on free agent shortstop Jimmy Rollins…

  • Phillies sources tell Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com (Twitter link) that there was no meeting with Rollins tonight.
  • The Phillies are currently meeting with Lozano and could "get to the finish line" tonight, tweets Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
  • While no deal between the Phillies and Rollins has been agreed upon, Jim Bowden of ESPN and MLB Network Radio hears from sources on both sides that it will get done (Twitter link).
  • The Brewers expect Rollins to re-sign with the Phillies because their second meeting with agent Dan Lozano was canceled, tweets Haudricourt. According to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. had this to say on the Brewers' expectations: "That's good news, I guess. I don't know why they have that thought process, but I hope it's true."
  • The Phillies are not close to re-signing Rollins, tweets Ken Rosenthal.
  • The Brewers are hearing that Rollins is staying with the Phillies, tweets Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.  ESPN's Chris Singleton received an encouraging report from a Phillies person that a deal with Rollins will get done soon.

    Is that the Brewers excuse to not make an offer?

    Jeebus Tim, every time I refresh there are 3 new posts.  Your computers must be smoking.

    Why did you even want Rollins anyways? He’s not that good of an offensive upgrade and he plays well in Philly because of their lineup-dimensions.

      Thats retarded.  You know there are things like park-adjusted stats, right?  And what does the lineup have to do with it when he’s the leadoff hitter!

        Just because you’re a leadoff hitter doesn’t mean that the lineup has nothing to do with it. He’s not hitting 90 HRs for his RBIs. The Phillies have normally have had bottom of the order success leading to Rollins having good ABs + run production. I think I would know, I’ve watched the man play around 1,000 times.

    I bet its 4 years.  Or 3 plus vesting 4th for a bit more money.

    I hope he gets a seven year deal at $126 million.

        And Phillies fans can’t use grammar and/or spelling.

    I think Rollins will sign with the Phils, he knows that they both need one another.

    my guess would be 4 years 40-50 mill range for rollins and he goes back to phills

    Just saw a tweet that they agreed to terms.

    EDIT: Nope, figures.

    MLB Network reported that Rollins resigned for 3 years, no words on money details.

    Are we sure the meeting was canceled because of Jimmy? Lozano’s been pretty busy, in fact, Ruben didn’t even meet with him today.

    Dan Lozano cancelled the meeting because he is pretty busy with El Hombre… its not like he didnt want to hear what the Brewers had to say

      Yeah, seriously. Rollins needs all the leverage he can get if he wants years and money from the Phillies. At this point they have no reason to up their offer other than to “get it over with.”

    Seems a little weird that Chris Rose reported this on Intentional Talk almost two hours ago and I haven’t seen anything on Twitter or on here until right now

    If Brookover is reporting something, it’s probably wrong. The only time he’s on target is when he’s reporting what everyone else has known for hours.

    How much money are the Phillies gonna spend and not improve the team? I don’t expect Papbelbon to perform any better than Madsen did last year and ….Rollins ain’t getting any younger and Phils are gonna be out tens of millions.
