Caught me off guard that they waived him.

Cole Hamels claimed by the Cubs. Although, I doubt a deal gets done it is nice to know the Cubs are looking to spend some money on the right arm if available. Looking forward to the offseason to see what they do

Well that's one team that could actually provide the Phillies with real prospects in a trade. Let's see what happens.

If they offer some prospects I hope its along the lines of Almora, Vogelbach and someone else.

Where'd you see it was the cubs. All I've seen are they are rumored to be one of the teams looking at him

The Phillies made a trade? Must be a hoax.

 

[MrMet]

Nope, it's being reported

 

[TNP777]

Yeah, I should have added that the alert was from the MLB At Bat app.

 

[Ashburn Alley]

Nope, it's being reported

Ha. I was being sarcastic.

 

[MrMet]

Ha. I was being sarcastic.

Yeah I know, but the funny part of the whole thing is that it's Roberto Hernandez for PTBNL, wasn't he technically named later?...Fausto....

What is a realistic trade package for the Cubs to give up for Hamels?

 

[MrMet]

Alex Rios cleared

I would think a headliner would be soler or Almora. Doubt that they'd move Bryant or Russell and doubt Baez as well
