Oh no, not this again. Here's the story from Jon Lane:During his weekly Thursday spot for Sports Radio WIP in Philadelphia, MLB Network’s Peter Gammons suggested that the Phillies, due to their last-place standing and the changes in compensation for free agents, may explore getting into an area where they can sign pending FA Cole Hamels and trade Cliff Lee, who turns 34 next month and signed through 2015 with an option for 2016. If that were the case, Gammons said a big-market team would go for Lee in a hurry, and one of those teams could be the Yankees. Ironically, the Yankees were this-close to trading for Lee in 2010 before the Mariners chose to do business with the Rangers. That winter, Lee turned down the Yankees’ seven-year, $148 million offer for five and $120M in Philadelphia, a place he claimed he never wanted to leave. (Lee was traded from the Phillies to the M’s in December 2009). .... The Yankees have professed fiscal responsibility and are aiming for a payr...

Source: Phillies Preparing "Big Offer" To Cole Hamels

Via Philliedelphia  |  July 12, 2012
According to ESPN's Jayson Stark (@jaysonst), the Phillies are preparing to offer left hander Cole Hamels a huge contract. Hamels, 28, is a soon-to-be-free-agent come this offseason and is going to be the hottest free agent on the market. Unless the Phillies can lock him up. Hamels is 10-4 on the year with a 3.20 ERA in his last year in a contract. Back in the offseason, the...

Phillies Will Try to Re-Sign Hamels

Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies Numerous reports indicate that the Philadelphia Phillies will make one final push to sign left-hander Cole Hamels before deciding whether to trade him. The Phillies and Hamels’ agent John Boggs have not had much contact in the past month plus, but that could be about to change. As the Phillies resume their schedule after the All Star break, it...

The Departed: Ex-Phils Prospect Review

Via Phillies Nation  |  July 12, 2012
In recent seasons, the Phillies have parted ways with a considerable collection of well-regarded prospects in efforts to acquire established big league players. As time passes, those young players get closer to contributing for their new organization at the highest level and some are already doing so. As this year’s trade deadline approaches, here’s a glance at how many of those...

Roy Halladay's Rehab Appearance Goes Okay

Via Philliedelphia  |  July 12, 2012
It's a good sign from Clearwater tonight, folks. Roy Halladay has completed his first rehab assignment for the Phillies. Although he was a bit rusty, the Phillies ace did an alright job tonight. Tonight the right-hander made the start for the single-A Clearwater Threshers against the Fort Myers Miracle. The game was televised and broadcast on TCN and it was a nice treat for...

More Injuries, More Savery: Raul Valdes Hits the Disabled List; Joe Savery Up from AAA

Via Philliedelphia  |  July 13, 2012

Moving Cole Hamels Could Save the Phillies Next Season

Via The Baseball Page  |  July 12, 2012
The end his here. If we the Phillies fans want to admit it or not, the chances of our beloved team getting into the playoffs would take a miracle. After 87 games the Phillies are 14 games back and 16 in the loss column to Washington. For any shot at a wildcard, the Fightin’s will need to finish the season 55-20. Take these numbers and then take a hard look at...

Olney: Phillies Will Make Push For Hamels

Via Phillies Nation  |  July 12, 2012
Buster Olney filled in as host of Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN Radio this morning and spoke at length about the Cole Hamels situation. Olney has written about Hamels frequently this year, as he is a homegrown ace on a team built around pitching who may prove too costly for the Phillies as a result of other expensive personnel decisions. The Phils and Hamels may be closing...

Phillies Kick Off Second Half With Weekend Set In Colorado

Via Philliedelphia  |  July 13, 2012
The Phillies had one of their first halves in ten years, going 37-50 headed into the All-Star Break. Well it's only been four days since they played, but I'm sick and tired of seeing this team playing like crap as well as being sick and tired of being negative about this team. So for the beginning of this second half I am going to be positive about this team because it...

Clayton Kershaw to Cole Hamels: “You’d look good in Dodger blue”

Via Sports-Kings  |  July 12, 2012
Damon JacksonIt’s no surprise that the Philadelphia Phillies have been a mess in 2012. It’s also not a surprise that Cole Hamels is could be out of the City of Brotherly Love. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, on the other hand, has been showing Hamels some brotherly love. The two had their lockers together for the All-Star game and told Hamels a very endearing statement.

Troy Tulowitzki remains out with an injury as the Phillies head to Colorado to face the Rockies.

Quiet Night After Quiet Bats, Bullpen Embarrass the Phillies

Via Philliedelphia  |  July 14, 2012
I am testing out my new iPhone app to write this so I apologize if it comes out a little weird. After last night's demoralizing loss to the Colorado Rockies, the atmosphere online was eerily quiet. The beat writers and presumably the players were all silent. The storyline was the same: poor offense, poor bullpen, Phillies lose. The Phillies' website had a positive...
