As the non-waiver trade deadline approaches, Ruben Amaro, Jr. says that he has had "great dialogue with a lot of clubs on several fronts" and expressed confidence in "get[ting] some things done."

Jonathan Papelbon told reporters over the weekend that he hoped the Phillies would trade him soon.

"There's live discussions going on right now regarding Pap," Amaro said. "I do believe that there's enough of a market that we can probably get something done. But again, I don't necessarily believe in 'probably.' ... There's a lot of clubs that are interested in a lot of our players and we have to sort through it and make the right deals."
