What would it take to sign Jason Hammel?

[BamaOsFan]

Not a great deal of interest it seems, but he could be a good addition to the back end of our rotation.

[paulcoates]

Not much I don't think.  Maybe 2/15

[Bahama O's Fan]

What do you do with Him, Ubaldo or Miley if everyone is healthy? Long man in the pen? I think Tillman, Gausman and Bundy are your starters 1-3

[Dark Helmet]

It's hard to believe he can't get a deal with so may teams needing SP.

I'm sure he has plenty of 1 year options, everything I've read is that he's having issues landing multi year offers because teams aren't sure of the health of his arm after the Cubs basically shut him down last year.

I don't know. But would he be worth it?

If Hammel can come cheap Id pick him up as a spot starter when someone misses a turn.Im hoping that Miley and Ubaldo are serviceable in 2017. If they can pitch like they did late in 2016 we'd have a pretty decent rotation. Hammel would give us some insurance.

So you're going to start Ubaldo and Miley and sit the better pitcher in the bullpen to waste away?

Sign Jason Hammel for two-years $18 million and trade Ubaldo Jimenez for a PTBNL.

This is a solid rotation.

1. Chris Tillman

2. Kevin Gausman

3. Jason Hammel

4. Dylan Bundy

5. Wade Miley

I've been critical of Hammel and pitching in the NL but I'd much rather rely on him than Ubaldo. We need a team out of contention to take on Ubaldo for a prospect. That's gonna be hard, but we did trade Gallrado somehow.

Dipoto gets the twitches if he goes more than five days without making a trade.

I'd be open for it if after the All Star break we could find a way to deal him, because his numbers in the 2nd half are awful 

[ScGO's]

If they don't sign Hammell, I hope they sign one more SP; there are still a few interesting names out there.  I think we need the depth.  With the likes of Wilson and Wright as a contingency plan, my tummy doesn't feel right.

Around $16 million.  Hammel to the Royals.  Makes sense given Ventura's death.
