Cole Hamels will likely be a free agent after this season as he is not expected to come to terms with the Phillies on an extension before Opening Day. "I haven't been thinking about it at all," Hamels said. "It's going to linger until something happens. Fortunately ... things will take care of itself." Hamels continues to say he does not have a deadline for a deal. "I guess I've got until the start of Spring Training next year [to sign]," Hamels said. "I guess that's kind of what it's down to. I've got 162 games to play, and then postseason and try to go to the World Series. That's always been my focus, being in the best possible shape to win a World Series again. That's just who I am. I just want to win and play my best with my teammates and winning a championship for the city of Philadelphia."
