The Phillies will not comment on any trades until they have been completed, and this one obviously was not.
With the winter meetings scheduled to begin next week in Nashville, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. will still be in search of a veteran reliever capable of handling the eighth-inning role.
Mike Adams and Joakim Soria are among the free-agent relievers available.
