Current Trade Rumors

[Allie Fox]

Can anyone verify this?

A buddy of mine is telling me that he's heard the Phillies have traded Cole to the Tigers for Delmon Young, Andy Dirks and a draft pick.

I can't find the news anywhere.

I'm in Philly and haven't heard that.

If it is indeed true, I'd be very dissatisfied.

Nothing thru Heyman, Rosenthal, Olney or Morosi twitter either.

There is no way the Phillies would let Hamels go for just Young and Dirks. I know the Phillies are in desperate need for some offense, but you don't trade practically an ace for two nothing special bats.

Not a word at ESPN.com about it. I'm considering it a rumor at this point.

I didn't know the Phillies were even shopping Hamels. But Delmon Young? Seriously?

The Phillies are assessing what to do as the deadline nears. They've made it public that Victorino, Polanco & Pence could all be available though I'm hearing teams saying price is too high. Phils are at a tough spot. They want to extend Hamels, but he's expressed his interest in testing the FA market this offseason and if the Phillies can't extend him by Thursday, I'd expect to see him gone as he's scheduled to pitch Friday night.

The GM (Ruben Amaro Jr) didn't want to sell off players until he could see what this team can do once Ryan Howard, Utley and Halladay all returned. But they've made zero ground in the standings, and I'm expecting a few players moved over the next seven days.

Perhaps we should start a Rumors forum.

Unless I'm mistaken the Tigers already traded the Competitive Balance pick to the Marlins for thiers in the Sanchez/Infante for Turner deal and you're only allowed to trade your original picks not picks traded to you.

Perhaps we should start a Rumors forum.

Or at least a rumors thread. The next week should be pretty interesting.

Hm, good idea. We'll give it a shot and see how it works.

Nice. I like it already

Marlins knee deep in trade discussions could make another blockbuster in next 24 hours.

Rumors for the past week or so has been Hanley Ramirez. But there were supposedly scouts from 4-5 teams out to see Josh Johnson pitch.
