CLEVELAND — Jim Thome took the stage at the City Club on Oct. 25, and spoke in generalities about continuing his career.

On Friday, he got a little more specific.

Despite being acquired by the Indians for the pennant race in August, reuniting the record-setting slugger with a team and city that adores him, Thome agreed Friday to sign a free-agent contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

Thome’s $1.25 million, one-year deal with the Phillies — another of his former teams — is contingent on passing a physical, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Nothing can be finalized until the 41-year-old takes the medical exam.

Thome said last month he hoped someone would give him another shot at an elusive World Series ring.
