From MLB.com:

PHILADELPHIA -- In the end, it might have come down to just wanting to go home for Randy Wolf.

Multiple published reports, citing unidentified sources, said late Sunday night that the free-agent left-handed starter is expected to join the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Wolf is believed to be accepting a one-year deal with a club option for 2008, according to foxsports.com. Los Angeles is said to be safeguarding against the possible departure of Greg Maddux. The Phillies were believed to be offering more to retain him, but the lure of pitching for his hometown team proved too difficult to resist. Wolf is from Canoga Park, Calif., and attended Pepperdine University. He still lives in the Los Angeles area.
