Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports that the Phillies are hesitant to give Jimmy Rollins the five-year contract that he desires.
It's no surprise, given that Rollins is celebrating his 33rd birthday Sunday. Olney notes that Rollins will have no shortage of suitors this offseason, though, so the Phillies "may have to go beyond their comfort level to make something happen." The Cardinals, Giants, Brewers, Marlins and Mets could all conceivably have interest in the former NL MVP.
