Eric Gagne told a French Canadian radio station that he has a tryout with the Phillies Wednesday afternoon in Arizona.

Gagne, 34, saved 161 games while posting a 1.82 ERA and striking out an average of 13.4 batters per nine innings for the Dodgers from 2002-2006. During that 5-year stretch, he was one of the most dominant closers in baseball, allowing a meager 0.827 walks and hits per inning in 240 appearances.

Gagne told reporters earlier this offseason that he would accept a nonguaranteed, minor league contract.
