I know the Brewers are waiting to offer Greinke another extension (which he probably won't take) so I think his trade is still a little awhile away.

Out of the 3 big players I'd guess Upton is traded first


why is Upton even available? Arizona is still in the hunt and he's under contract for a few more years at a reasonable price

The Phillies plan to offer Cole Hamels a large contract extension in order to see if they can lock the southpaw up before the July 31 trade deadline, reports ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.  The size of the proposal is unknown, though a source tells Stark that the Phillies have debated about whether or not to break their unofficial club policy of not signing a pitcher to more than five guaranteed years.

We recently heard that the Phillies were willing to go beyond four years to sign Hamels, though if the Phils aren't willing to go beyond five years, Hamels could easily get a minimum six-year deal on the open market this winter.  If it's just length and not money (an estimated $24-25MM per season) that's the issue, the gap could possibly be closed by a vesting option.

This could explain why the Phillies are internally optimistic that they can re-sign Hamels, Stark hears from two executives from opposing teams.

"They're trying to sign him," said one of those executives. "And they think it's going to happen. At least that's what I was told."

If Hamels turns down the offer, then the Phillies could explore trading the southpaw before the trade deadline, though Stark notes that the Phillies intend to wait as long as possible to decide if they'll be sellers given that Chase Utley, Ryan Howard are off the DL and Roy Halladay will also soon return.


It makes no sense to keep him right now. If they want Hamels as a Philly long term, wait until he hits the open market. Trade him now and get something good, RAJ apparently wants quantity over quality in prospects which is kinda stupid IMO. The Mets got friggin Wheeler for a Beltran rental last season.

He was shopped in 2010 also. There isn't a good relationship there obviously, not just with Kevin Towers but the entire front office I'm guessing, and supposedly Towers doesn't think Upton is a "winner".

The Pirates, Blue Jays, Rangers, Tigers, Braves, Cubs, Mariners, Indians, Mets and Reds are possible fits for Upton, Olney writes.
