Jimmy Rollins isn't ready to hang up his cleats just yet.

The 38-year-old shortstop agreed to a minor-league contract with the San Francisco Giants on Monday, a source told FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.

Rollins will earn a $1-million base salary if he plays for the Giants for the entire season and could also make $1 million in incentives, according to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.

The veteran appeared in 41 games with the Chicago White Sox last season after signing a minor-league contract. He slashed just .221/.295/.329 with two home runs and eight RBIs before he was designated for assignment in June.

Rollins has played 17 big-league seasons, mostly with the Philadelphia Phillies, winning the National League MVP award in 2007 after hitting .296/.344/.531 with 30 home runs, 20 triples, 41 stolen bases, and 94 RBIs.

Over the course of his career, Rollins owns a .264/.324/.418 hitting line, has won four Gold Gloves, and has been worth 49.4 WAR.

He also won a World Series title with the Phillies in 2008.
