Jimmy Rollins signs on with Giants

Jimmy Rollins has signed a minor-league contract with the Giants.

The deal comes with an invitation to spring training; if Rollins, 38, makes the Giants 25-man roster, he’ll earn $1 million in 2017.

Rollins made the White Sox roster after a spring training invitation in 2016, but he floundered during the season, finishing .221/.295/.329 with two home runs, eight doubles and five stolen bases.

He holds the Phillies’ franchise record for career hits with 2,306, and won the 2007 Most Valuable Player award.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
