If the Phillies decide to sell at the trade deadline, dealing Chase Utley seems to make the most sense.

Utley will be a free agent at season's end and the market for position players is thin.

However, Ruben Amaro doesn't seem included to move Utley.

"He's been an iconic player for us," Amaro said. "My intention would be to keep him in our uniform for the rest of his career, if possible.

"I kind of view Chase as a Phillie for life. That's my hope."
