The Phillies have until Monday to offer salary arbitration to their four free agents: lefthander Jamie Moyer, leftfielder Pat Burrell, and relievers Tom Gordon and Rudy Seanez.
Philadelphia is likely to offer Moyer arbitration. They have had serious discussions with the pitcher about a contract extension but have been unable to reach an agreement.
If Moyer, 46, accepts arbitration by next Sunday's deadline, he would be a signed player for 2009.

The Phillies continue to talk with free-agent lefthander Jamie Moyer about a new deal, but no agreement has been reached.
Philadelphia GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said he remains hopeful Moyer will be back.
One baseball source said late last week that the Phillies and Moyer were close to an agreement, but another source claimed the team was more focused on A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe.

New Philadelphia GM Ruben Amaro Jr. was upbeat after second baseman Chase Utley had surgery on his right hip Monday.
"What I can tell you is that our early reports are that it was a very successful surgery," Amaro said.
Utley's recovery time has been estimated between four and six months.
"Whenever you have surgery, I don't know it's good news, but favorable, I think, would be a better word," Amaro added.
