Report: Chase Utley Trade Could Come Wednesday

By Ray Boyd and Andrew Porter

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- According to a report from baseball reporter Ken Rosenthal, the Phillies could be on the verge of trading Chase Utley.

According to Rosenthal, the situation with Utley is "coming to head," and Utley could be traded at some point today.

Furthermore, MLB.com's Todd Zolecki reports that the Dodgers are "moving closer" to a deal for Utley.

CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury reports if Utley is not traded on Wednesday, he will remain with the Phillies.

These reports come just a day after Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said on the 94WIP Morning Show that the chances of Utley leaving were slim.

"As I told you before, it is very likely he'll be here in Philadelphia through the end of the year and then we'll see what happens after that," Amaro said on Tuesday.

Utley's no-trade clause makes dealing him a decision that essentially falls fully in Utley's lap. He can refuse a trade to any team and there has been growing speculation that Utley wants to remain with the Phillies.
