The Philadelphia Phillies have been interested in trading veteran second baseman Chase Utley for some time, and it seems that the hour is almost at hand.
The Angels, Dodgers, Cubs, Giants, and Yankees have all been linked to Utley in recent hours, and it appears that a trade will happen by the end of the day.
Sources: Utley situation with #Phillies coming to head. Trade possible today.

angels, giants, cubs seem possible for utley (perhaps in that order). @Ken_Rosenthal suggests trade still possible soon

word seems to be that LAA could be a preference for utley, a SoCal (long beach) product whose lefty bat would help them.

dodgers also said very high on utley's list (theyve had some interest but werent seen as involved as LAA, SFG & others)
