Chase Utley, whose 13-year career with the Philadelphia Phillies included five All-Star appearances and the club's first World Series championship since 1980, agreed to a trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a baseball official with direct knowledge of the deal.
The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the trade has been agreed upon, but not finalized. The Phillies will receive a pair of mid-level prospects from the Dodgers, who will also receive $2 million to help offset the remainder of the $15 million Utley is paid this season.
MLB.com first reported that the Dodgers and Phillies were nearing a deal involving Utley.
