The New York Yankees haven't ruled out making a trade offer for Cole Hamels, who is guaranteed $86.2 million through the 2018 season, according to a source.

Hamels took the mound at Yankee Stadium for the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday and struggled. He allowed five runs on eight hits in five innings of work after having his start delayed because of a hamstring injury.

"Nothing has heated up yet on the Hamels front between the two teams, but that could change quickly, as Fox Sports reported that the Rangers are having "ongoing dialogue" with the Phillies about their ace," writes David Lennon.

"Hamels does have a no-trade list of 20 teams, but the Rangers and Yankees are not on it. In other words, they already have been pre-approved as potential destinations."
