ESPN’s Buster Olney reported that the Angels and Dodgers would be the likely landing spots for the 36-year-old, but it appears that the Dodgers have separated themselves in negotiations. If Utley does go to the Dodgers, he will be reunited with former teammate Jimmy Rollins.
CSNPhilly.com’s Jim Salisbury has also reported that a source close to Utley has said that if a deal doesn’t materialize today, then Utley will stay in Philadelphia.
Person close to Utley says if trade does not happen today he stays with Phillies. He is not expected to be in Phils’ lineup tonight

It’s beginning to look like last night’s two-hit performance could have been Utley’s final game in a Phillies uniform.
