While the Philadelphia Phillies haven't ruled out trading Cole Hamels, they expect the left-hander to be in spring training with them.

"I would expect him to be in spring training with the Phillies. And I would expect him to be our Opening Day starter," Ruben Amaro said. "I don't know that for sure. That could change in a phone call or two, just like with anyone else. But I would expect him to be in camp."

Amaro has made no secret that he's willing to deal Hamels, 31, who is coming off a very good season.
