Per @JSalisburyCSN, #Phillies’ Hamels says he is open to all teams, including #Blue Jays and #Astros. Jim’s story: http://www.csnphilly.com/baseball-philadelphia-phillies/cole-hamels-open-minded-all-potential-trade-destinations?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter …

 

He smartened up and realized he could be stuck in Philadelphia for three more years

[reedjohnsonfan]

^ do we really want him if he already declined a trade here??

 

Absolutely, although what would the Jays even give up? I assume they'd want the Phillies to cover some of the salary.

I like Hamels more than a rental - he could also cost less talent because of his contract

[L54]

Go get Cole!

[ElNik2013]

I would rather take on the whole contract and give up a lesser package than the other way around.

Sanchez Boyd Hoffman Pompey for Hamels and Papelbon

 

Pls get it done AA

please no

[RealAccountant]

I don't think that gets it done

 

I wouldnt trade Norris. Everyone else should be open.

[RealAccountant]

Well this changes things. Funny how winning changes everything!

 

Jays had a better record the last time Hamels declined a trade to Toronto.

[Daniel Labude]

Sanchez Boyd Hoffman Pompey for Hamels and Papelbon

 

Pls get it done AA

 

Norris, Boyd, Penecost, Castro

[IronLadle]

Castro, Pentecost, Labourt, Alford and we'll pay the contracts. Papelbon and Hamels have zero value to the Phillies, both are signed to stupid contracts

So would every fan...the important thing is if Rogers feels the same.

[thatoneguy]

Man would I love to just fleece them for him due to the Phillies' laughable situation and stick it in Amaro's moronic face, although I doubt that's going to happen.

Colabello and Boyd, book it!

[ElNik2013]

Yeah and that's doubtful which is why I fear another overpay. We'll see what happens

[Jimcanuck]

No, not Alford. His first full pro season and is turning heads. Use someone else.

[JFD]

this team will be legit if they can get Hamels and Papelbon. go for it!

[jays4life19]

Yeah if Amaro was going to accept a laughable package he would have been gone by now. I think he's asking for the sky and then some.

[Atothe]

He definitely is

[Atothe]

He's probably asking teams to take on the whole contract and give up top prospects

[o2cui2i]

what is a fair price if the jays take on the whole albatross?

[Top 10 Personal Catcher]

Goins.

[ElNik2013]

This team is finally getting to the point where it has some youth at the MLB level and at AA/AAA and it happens to coincide with them needing a top of the rotation starter which means they'd have to give up some of the youth at the MLB level and/or some of the upper minors prospects.

 

It goes back to misfiring in the Marlins and Dickey trades since despite all the young talent they gave up, they didn't get a top starting pitcher.

 

I say go for the under-the-radar guys.

[baubau]

Castro, Pentecost, Sanchez and DJ Davis. I feel like Amaro is dumb enough to accept this. I also imagine he would want Sanchez ahead of Norris or Boyd because of that ERA.

Well Josh Johnson was supposed to be that guy, but he blew up in their faces.

[ElNik2013]

He was. Although, he had 1 year of control left and would've been expensive to re-sign had he pitched as expected.

 

 

You also have to remember that they expected Dickey to pitch as that guy as well, they certainly gave up a package worthy of a top of the rotation SP to get him.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Does anyone know the financial situation in Philly right now? Are they going to try and shed payroll for the rebuild? Or would they be trying to eat some of Hamels contract? It's doubtful that the Jays would take on the whole contract.

They said they would be willing to throw some money in if it meant a top package. Before they wanted the team to take 100% of it plus a top package. I don't think the contract is that bad though.

[glory]

What would be the 2015 equivalent of 2010 Kyle Drabek, Travis d'Arnaud, and Michael Taylor? That's all I'd give Amaro.
