"The Phillies have one spot open on their 40-man roster and it will probably stay that way heading into spring training.

"It's unlikely we'll be signing anybody else to a major-league deal," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said on Friday. "We like the club we have heading into camp."

Any further additions to the team's spring-training roster would likely come on minor-league contracts.

The team's reluctance to give any more major-league deals this off-season could spell bad news for reliever Brad Lidge, who is still a free agent and is seeking a big-league deal. Lidge and his representatives have stayed in touch with the Phillies and other clubs all winter."
