The Boston Red Sox continue to monitor Cole Hamels and the Philadelphia Phillies, but "there's no sense of urgency" to trade for the left-hander, according to a source.

Boston has been mentioned as a potential landing spot for Hamels since last season.

Hamels recently told USA Today that he would prefer being dealt to a contender.

Another source said the Red Sox are known to have made their interest in Hamels clear to the Phillies.
