Comment on If Phillies become sellers, the Yankees should “buy” on Hamels by Eljay

Hughes name was mentioned a few times in the article, but like the possibility of Philly being sellers, What happens with Hughes may well be determined on his play for the next 2 months. If he tears it up, no way to they add him in a trade such as this, but if he is average to good he definately gets talked about.

I think Hamels can probably expect something closer to CC's 7-year/$160 million deal. Same age and with arguably as much success when they each hit free agency. Both lefties too. Hamels has already said that he wants a 7-year deal.

This is true, but it's not so simple. Yankees supposedly offered him 3-years/$20 million. He was already set to earn 1-year/$7.5 million. That would technically be a paycut annually. They never got into serious talks.

The greedy pig was offered a contract extension during spring training. But his agent turned it down.

I'm not sure what a reasonable contract for Hamels as a free agent would look like…do people see him as a guy that could get a 7 year $130 mil contract?

Should Cashman assume they are not?

Agreed. I don't want him if he's a rental. Only if there's an extension worked into the contract.

Very unlikely that Hamels will wind up on the Yankees mid-season. Too many other teams looking for pitching and the Yankees aren't desperate at this point. The other piece is that I doubt Philly will fold. The one thing that makes this possible is that the Yankees need quality pitchers and a lefty would help. If the Yankees did sign him, they would want a contract extension and I do not think the Yankees have the cash to do so…a rental for any of our topmost talent would be a mistake imo…no thanks!

If the article didn't make it clear enough, I apologize, but what I'm trying to say here is that IF Hamels is to become available, we should go after him and should be willing to pay a hefty price provided there is an extension worked into the contract.

Amaro said they'd be sellers at the deadline if they continue to lose. That doesn't mean Hamels, but he's certainly the commodity on that team that could fetch the biggest haul. As I said in the article, if they start winning, this is irrelevant. If they are out of playoff contention though, they might think they're better off trading Hamels for some future bats or for some cheaper pitching options. There's no source saying Hamels is the guy they will be "selling," but he's the guy they'd most certainly get the most for in return.
