“Coles’ already said he would resign with the Phils next season EVEN after being traded.” You got yourself one helluva scoop there buddy

I’m sorry, Denial..? I believe denial is what Mets fans felt the entire offseason in 2007 when the Phillies won the division on the last day of the regular season. This after the Mets had a 7 game lead...

To Cameltoehoe, who would even remotely consider giving up top prospects for a guy that would opt out at end of year? Come on, unless the team were getting a signed deal from Hamels, why even consider...

Not true, Pujols would’ve been if he had been signed to it 10 years ago. That being said, without knowing the future, nobody’s ever enough of a sure thing to be worth that kind of deal.

This is good news for Cole, The Phillies, and The Phillies Fans. I hope it gets done.

If Hamels doesn’t say yes to whatever they offer him on day one, Phils should rescind offer and trade him. I’ve always respected Hamels ability. He just doesn’t strike me as a Tier 1 pitcher. Don’t get...

My guess is the Phillies can NOT afford to let him get away. It’s probably going to take 6 years guaranteed at $23 or 24MM per ($138/$144MM) and a 7th year vesting option for probably $25MM. The...

If/when the Phillies sign Hamels, Craig and paperlion will immediately post that it was the worst contract ever signed, and despite the signing the Phils future is “murky at best”. If/when the Phillies...

Dude, you’re in denial. The Phils are going nowhere this season and for many seasons to come. But as you say, they must play the games; relentlessly, over and over, year after year, loss after loss....

There have been players that were worth that kind of deal, but there won’t be a player worth that kind of risk. Each long-term deal that turns out poorly (and there are more of those than there are...

The Phillies will have to play .587 ball just to finish at .500. Three teams played that well in the first 1/2. They will have to play .640 ball to finish with 85 wins, which is far better than any...

What else is he going to say? You can’t leverage other teams into offering a better deal if there is no one else bidding.

I doubt the Phillies will play that good in the 2nd Half, but just for the record, playing that well is not impossible. The Phillies have done that. They went .637 last year and in 2010 they went a...

<blockquote>“murky at best”.</blockquote> I like how someone writes an article, and a year later pretty much everything he wrote comes true. And people still mock him for it.

In a perfect world… but there’s no guarantee he would resign after being rented. Especially if the California boy gets traded to the LA Dodgers who have buckets to spend. I wouldn’t chance it. Cole...
