Aug. 29 -- AGENT: STAIRS DEAL IS DONE (UPDATE)

By SCOTT LAUBER

CHICAGO -- Quick update on Matt Stairs:

While the Phillies, specifically GM Pat Gillick, continue to say they cannot comment on the pending trade, I just received an e-mail from Stairs' Chicago-area agent, Bob Garber that says, "He will be in uniform for the Phillies tomorrow." That's pretty much a confirmation that the deal is done.

(Update, 10:30 a.m. Sat.): Just got an e-mail from the Phillies that the Stairs trade is official. For now, it's Stairs for a minor-league player to be named. More in a bit from Wrigley.
