As we mentioned yesterday, Chase Utley has cleared waivers, meaning he can be traded anyplace as long as he consents. Jon Morosi updates on the latest involving the team most commonly linked to Utley:
Sources: #SFGiants and #Phillies in ongoing talks about Chase Utley trade. Stage is advanced enough that prospect names have been discussed.

It wouldn’t take a ton of prospects, of course, given where Utley is in terms of both his contract and his production. He has been productive in the handful of games since coming off the disabled list, however, going 7-for-17 with three doubles and three driven in.
