Phillies Getting More Realistic About Asking Price For Cole Hamels; Yoan Moncada Aimed For Second Base & Maybe Some Third; Scouts Torn On Dayan Viciedo's Power; James Shields Staying Private; Jonathan Papelbon Continues To Gets People Out, But Remains Unwanted By Clubs

Cole Hamels, LHP, Phillies — It remains shocking that no team has been able to make a deal for Hamels. And it’s not all the Phillies’ fault. “They want everyone’s top guys and you can’t blame them,” said one National League GM. “But I think they’re getting more realistic. The team that can offer them prospects and a major league-ready player or pitcher will get him. And then it’s just a matter of where Cole would want to play.”
