Steve King of the Philadelphia Daily News reports that the Phillies may look to trade for Orioles 3B Melvin Mora after failing to sign Mike Lowell via free agency. The Baltimore Sun reports that Mora is unhappy with the current direction of the Orioles and would be willing to drop his no-trade clause to join a contender on the east coast.

Mora, 35, hit .274 with 14 homers and 58 RBI last season. He signed a 3-year contract extension in May 2006. He is due to make $8 million in each of the next two seasons. In 2010, he is due a club option worth $8 million or a $1 million buyout.
