Despite the team's last-place status, the Phillies are "trying like heck" to sign Cole Hamels to a contract extension before the July 31 trade deadline, according to a source. If they are unable to ink the left-hander over the long-term, Philadelphia may have to deal him for prospects. Charlie Manuel thinks there's a good chance that Hamels stays a Phillie. "I feel good about that, but we'll see," the manager said. "I know the Phillies want to keep him and in a lot of ways he wants to stay, but also you don't become a free agent often and nowadays a lot of guys like to go out on the market. We'll see. I think he wants to stay with us."
