Reds' Brandon Phillips: Nationals moving on

The Nationals are "moving on" from Phillips and will instead pursue other options at second base, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

Cincinnati tried to convince Phillips to waive his no-trade clause after reaching a deal with Washington late Thursday, but it seems either Phillips refused or the Nats grew impatient as negotiations dragged on. Either way, Phillips remains with the Reds for now, but after acquiring Jose Peraza in the Todd Frazier trade, it seems likely the team will continue looking for avenues to move Phillips.
