The Phillies continue to search for a corner outfielder.

"We've had several talks with free agents, although they're limited now," Ruben Amaro said. "We've also talked about some possible trades. We're staying active as far as that is concerned. We're still trying to improve, depth-wise, in our outfield, if we can. We don't have proven everyday Major League players on our corners right now. If we can create some depth there, if we can create some competition, I would like to do that."

The Phillies have been pursuing free-agent outfielder Scott Hairston and Angels outfielder Vernon Wells.
