Potential Trades From Each of Cole Hamels' Suitors


The Phillies have sucked this year. It's fact. The worst record in baseball and almost a guarantee of the top pick in the draft is evidence. The Phillies have been so bad because the team is run so poorly, Ruben Amaro has the knowledge of Bruce Allen trading everything for Robert Griffin III. Ruben's track shows he gets little for the talent we supply. Cliff Lee for Aumont, a bad pitcher, Tyson Gillies is a player who we released as well, completed by JC Ramirez, who is no longer in our organization. Luckily, we signed him back but the Phillies got nothing. Then, we sent Shane Victorino for notorious bum Ethan Martin. Lastly, Hunter Pence for Tommy Joseph and Seth Rosin.

The Phillies made bad buys too. Despite Roy Halladay being the man in Philly, we gave Travis D' Arnaud, star catcher for our rival Mets. Then Kyle Drabek, who turned out to be a bust. Topped off by Michael Taylor, who has found much success with the Nationals. The Hunter Pence trade was just as bad. Trading Jonathan Singleton, Jarred Cosart who is a good player in Miami and Domingo Santana, who has been great in Houston.

So Who will take Cole Hamels? What is he really worth? How delusional is our front office for standing pat for three years? It will all be said and done on July 31st, but here's what could play out.

LA Dodgers

The Dodgers have the money and need for Hamels and that's why LA is leading in trade discussions. Here are two potential trades.

Dodgers send RHP Jose De Leon, RHP Grant Holmes and PTBNL for Cole Hamels and $10 Million.

Dodgers send RHP Jose De Leon, 2B Darnell Sweeney, OF Alex Verdugo for Cole Hamels

Chicago Cubs

The Cubs will have the BEST rotation with Hamels. That's why this will work.

Cubs send SS Javier Baez, RHP Duane Underwood, 1B Dan Vogelbach

Cubs send OF Billy Mckinney, SS Javier Baez for Hamels and 15 Million.

Texas Rangers

Rangers would do this for 2016. Darvish, Hamels, Perez, Gonzalez, Holland. That's world series worthy.

Rangers send RHP Jake Thompson, OF Nick Williams and RHP Luis Ortiz for Cole Hamels and 10 Million.

Rangers send RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez and OF Nomar Mazara for Cole Hamels

Boston Red Sox

Red Sox send OF Manuel Margot, LHP Brian Johnson, OF Jackie Bradley Jr.

Red Sox send LHP Henry Owens, 3B Garin Cecchini, LHP Edwin Escobar

I will take opinions, just was bored.
