Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com cites a person with knowledge of the situation that the Phillies have an agreement in place with a reliever.
Don't expect an official announcement until the first week of January. Salisbury speculates that it could be Danys Baez, but the Phillies have also been connected to Fernando Rodney and the recently non-tendered Mike MacDougal. Baez, 32, compiled a 4.02 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in '09. His career-high 60.9% groundball rate was among the league leaders.
