Report: Utley trade could happen today
On Tuesday, general Ruben Amaro Jr. was on record saying that it’s “very likely” that Chase Utley would remain in Philadelphia for the remainder of the 2015 season. He later elaborated on those comments when speaking to reporters before last night’s game.
“I don’t think that Chase has that desire to leave, frankly,” Amaro said. “And the Phillies don’t have the desire to move him out of here. We’re going to be open-minded about all of the opportunities that present themselves over the next couple weeks.”
Not even 24 hours after those comments where made, Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal is reporting that a possible Utley trade could happen as soon as today.
