PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies and Dodgers are moving closer to a trade for Chase Utley, sources told MLB.com on Wednesday.
No deal has been finalized, but the teams are moving in that direction. FOXSports.com first reported Wednesday that the Utley trade is "possible today." CSNPhilly.com reported that if a trade does not happen Wednesday, Utley will remain with the Phillies for the remainder of the season.
Trade discussions for Utley had heated up Friday, and the Angels thought they would acquire him before the end of the weekend. However, nothing happened, as Utley has full no-trade rights and can reject any trade.
