Hearing #Cubs are making inroads to try to land Cole Hamels from the #Rangers

Hopefully getting out of Arlington will fix him.

Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1
Between rest of salary this yr plus buyout on 2019 option, Hamels owed roughly $14.2M. Hear that if deal with #Cubs goes thru they will pick up about $4M and give up secondary prospects. But NO deal is in place yet, Cubs just more involved than other suitors.

Secondary prospects could very well describe the Cubs entire system.

Some Twitter chatter about Diekman possibly being in a Hamels deal as well...

Like Britton before him, Diekman has the same problem as everyone else on this Cubs staff--he just doesn't throw enough strikes.

They need to prioritize adding a starter and a reliever who throw strikes. Handedness doesn't matter as long as they don't have severe splits.

Bowden also thinks Hamels to Cubs might happen, though there's probably about a 70% chance his "source" is Joel Sherman's Twitter account.

Jim Bowden @JimBowdenGM
#Cubs in strong pursuit to land Cole Hamels from #Rangers for lower level prospects according to source.

Hamels is exciting, especially if he replaces Chatwood.

Davep's grandmother would be exciting if she was replacing Chatwood.

Heyman joins in and says Hamels is a possibility:

Jon Heyman @JonHeyman
Cubs are indeed talking to the rangers about Cole Hamels. Hear it has a decent chance. Rangers would have to cover a portion of the $14M to go. Cubs are on Happ's small pre-approved. he's pitched very well there (including no-hitter). @Joelsherman1 1st mentioned possibility

He's not really broken, unless you consider a MIRP broken.

I'd take Diekman in a heartbeat if he's basically a throw-in.  Hard to hit and throws hard.  Yeah his has control issues but Duensing is dead weight at this point, so why not add Diekman to the mix as a viable option.
