With less than two weeks left before the July 31 trade deadline, a number of players have been garnering plenty of interest - and Philadelphia Phillies reliever Pat Neshek appears be one of the most sought-after targets.

The Milwaukee Brewers, Tampa Bay Rays, and New York Yankees are among many teams in the mix for the 36-year-old Neshek, according to sources of FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, who reports talks are fluid, but there isn't a clear-cut leader just yet.

Neshek's name has been a popular one on the trading block, with the Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals also showing interest in the veteran, who has put together a fine season for the Phillies thus far.

During 40 appearances, Neshek's odd delivery has been effective and has led him to a 1.21 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 9.6 SO/9.

Over the course of his 11 seasons in the big leagues, Neshek - a two-time All-Star - owns a 30-21 record, 2.78 ERA, and 1.03 WHIP.

Neshek is owed the remainder of his $6.5 million salary and will become a free agent at season's end.
