The Philadelphia Phillies have told teams to have their best
offers in today if they wish to acquire left-handed starter Cole Hamels. Hamels
starts tomorrow, whether that start comes for the Philadelphia Phillies or not
remains to be seen, and the team would like to move him before that start if
possible. There are many teams in the mix for Hamels including the Arizona
Diamondbacks, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Texas Rangers, the Houston Astros
and the New York Yankees to name a few but who will ultimately land Hamels when
it’s all said and done is yet to be determined. This sounds like all the
makings of a Twitter poll if you ask me.
@GreedyStripes "Judging" the situation, not the Yankees... see what I did there?

@GreedyStripes I've got to say Dodgers. Doesn't look like Tigers want to trade Price anymore, and the Dodgers are convinced they need 3 aces

@GreedyStripes Rangers have the willingness to trade the prospects the dodgers don't.

@GreedyStripes Rangers, looking to a complete a rotation for the future after a poor 2015 campaign.

@GreedyStripes Dodgers all day, wish the Yankees but just won't happen unless we part with Severino or Judge

@GreedyStripes Giants. They have $50 mill coming off the books next year and would immediately become WS favorites again

Personally I can see a team like the Boston Red Sox building
for 2016 and acquiring Hamels in the old “keep him away from the Yankees” line
of thinking. Boston has the pieces to make a move and I don’t like picking the
“obvious” choices like the Dodgers or the Rangers simply because it feels like
a cop out. Honestly the Phillies could decide to hold onto Hamels, although
they likely will trade him, and wait until the offseason when the competition
is much stiffer and the pool of “contenders” is larger. Who knows, stay tuned
because this should come to an end any minute now.
