The Philadelphia Phillies aren't close to a trade involving any of their veteran players, according to Ruben Amaro, Jr.

"I've had dialogue on a variety of things over the last several weeks and that will continue," the general manager said. "There's been dialogue on all these guys. But nothing is imminent.

"These guys having success is good for us on all fronts, whether they stick with us and continue to be part of what we're trying to do moving forward or whether we utilize those assets to improve our club. Them doing well can only help our club."

The Phillies have a number of players that might receive interest on the trade marketing including Jonathan Papelbon, Cole Hamels, Ryan Howard and Chase Utley.

"I've had dialogue on a variety of things over the last several weeks and that will continue," Amaro added.
