So where does Cole Hamels end up?

http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/11/phillies-have-received-four-real-offers-for-cole-hamels/

8 teams have kicked the tires, 4 have made real deals, according to the GM.

Jason Stalk, says these are the four teams that have stay in touch and are probably the four that have made offers:

Padres, Rangers, Dodgers, and Cardinal

But, as HBT points out, Padres got Shields, so you can probably drop them off the list.

I know he isn't coming to B-More, and hopefully, he stays out of the AL East and even the AL.

I thought the Red Sox were in on Hamels. Hope you are right that they aren't one of the main suitors.

At this point who really knows, personally, I didnt give the Padres much of a shot at getting Shields, just goes to show you how little I know.

Apparently the Red Sox want to trade from the major roster whereas the Phillies want prospects.

I can't speak for what they're thinking but I'd take Mookie Betts, Xander Boegarts and Garin Cecchini for Hamels, no questions asked. All three had major league time last year -- two are controlled for six years and one for five.

Seems like a steep price for someone without much surplus value on his contract.

Nobody cares about surplus value when you're winning.

I'm just saying the Phillies seem awfully picky if they don't want any of Boston's young major leaguers.

"I just want to win. That's all. That's all any competitor wants.

"And I know it's not going to happen here."

"This isn't what I expected. It's not what the Phillies expected, either."

"But it's reality.''

Do we have equivalent talent?

How is this Orioles related? Orioles won't trade for him.

Weams has been channeling Roy recently.

I think he just wants page clicks.

Would anyone consider a Bundy, Schoop, plus deal to get Hamels?

I am not interested in trading Bundy just to move Ubaldo to #7 on the depth chart.

What if you could include Ubaldo to offset some cost?
