Shane Victorino has switched representation and expressed his desire to remain with the Phillies over the long-term.
Victorino left the Beverly Hills Sports Council for New York-based agents Seth and Sam Levinson.
"I felt like the Levinsons had more of the family-type atmosphere that I was looking for," the center fielder told the Philadelphia Daily News. "They had what I wanted in that sense."
Unless the Phillies and Victorino agree on a multi-year contract extension, he will become a free agent after the 2011 season.
"I want to play here," he said. "I don't want to go anywhere. If I have to take one year deals the next few years, that's fine."
