Phillies Near Deal to Get Roy Oswalt From Astros

The Phillies and Astros have agreed to the players in a trade that would send Roy Oswalt to the NL champs, a source confirmed for The Post.

The deal is not complete as Oswalt has a no-trade clause and has to give his blessing. There have been mixed messages about if he is willing to play for a Northeast city. Oswalt also has might want his $16 million 2012 option picked up.

However, a source briefed on the deal described it as "very close" to completion.

FOX 26 in Houston originally reported that the deal for players was complete.
