With the waiver-trade deadline looming the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that Oakland Athletics utilityman Nomar Garciaparra cleared waivers and could be traded today with the Phillies as the leading candidate.
The Phils are in desperate need for pinch-hitting help since Matt Stairs is 0 for his last 27 and now hitting a miserable .195.
The Phillies were interested in Garciaparra last winter and recently had some scouts watching him, according to the newspaper.
The veteran is batting .264 with two homers and 13 RBI in 129 at-bats for the A's this season.
