    Hamels Told Rollins It Would Be ‘Lovely’ To Join Him With Dodgers
    by Matthew Moreno | Dodgers Nation -- January 05, 2015

    [​IMG]

    With the likelihood of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Hanley Ramirez parting ways this offseason, plenty of attention and speculation was given to the Dodgers trading for Alexei Ramirez to address the forthcoming need at shortstop.

    Ramirez has one year and a team option remaining on his contract, which was going to provide flexibility moving forward — something of importance with Corey Seager’s fast rise to the Majors. However the Winter Meetings came with another solution as the Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies agreed on a trade to send Jimmy Rollins to Los Angeles.

    As the deal was put on pause due to the saga that unfolded in the Matt Kemp trade, some believed the Dodgers would attempt to expand on the trade to also acquire Cole Hamels. That never developed, but Rollins revealed in an interview with Harold Reynolds and Matt Vasgersian on MLB Network’s Hot Stove that Hamels wouldn’t mind joining the Dodgers:

    “I spoke with Cole right before I got traded and he was excited for me. He did talk about how lovely it would be if we both ended up in LA, that would be one heck of a move right there. I know he’s a big piece if they wanted to really rebuild and get as much as they can from any team. I know it’s hard for teams to let go of their one and two prospects, and that’s I’m sure what the Phillies are asking for. For him to win, even when we were good, he still had tough times winning. So now, I definitely feel that he wants to be somewhere where he can win. So, Chavez Ravine, Southern California, is a beautiful place.”
    ​
    The Phillies’ ace reportedly has drawn previous interest from the Dodgers, though they’ve been reluctant to part ways with any of their top prospects in exchange for Hamels. That hesitation coupled with Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.’s belief that Hamels is among the game’s best pitchers has left both sides unable to come to terms on a trade.

    Although trade talks may be revisited, the Dodgers will not trade for or sign another starting pitcher if general manager Farhan Zaidi is to be believed. Furthermore, a focus of the Dodgers has been to lower payroll.

    Hamels is guaranteed $96 million through the 2018 season and his contract includes a $20 million team option for 2019 that vests at $24 million should he pitch a combined 400 innings in 2017-2018 (with 200 innings coming in 2018) and avoid the disabled list with a shoulder or elbow injury at the end of 2018.​

    Nah, this was a conversation that occurred before Rollins deal was officially announced. The time for that deal is long past.

    Ain't gonna happen.

    So tell his milk toast self to have Amaro negotiate like a man.

    If you want top tier "prospects". You eat a sizable amount of money in the deal.

    If you don't want to eat money, then you get 2nd and third tier prospects. And the Dodgers also throw in League, Barney and Lee and they eat League's money

    Give up a top tier pitching prospect.
    Get back an ace under contract for a handful of years.
    Team is going to be more defensive so investing in quality pitching pays multiple ways
    I want the dodgers to have a 4 aces motif next year. Good tor marketing.

    Rollins: Oh. I'll respect that. Don't you worry milk toast

    Hamels: Wow Racist? You know you also have to give me protection in SoCal?

    Rollins: Protection from what?

    Hamels: So do you think it can happen?

    If he said 'it would be "Lovely' instead of "it would be cool/or awesome/ or great to be on the Dodgers with you" we don't want him then.
    Enough finooks around here already.
    From what I'm hearing, the blonde with the big teeth is just a beard, anyway.

    I didn't realize I was the only one here to joke like that. I guess I read other posts here incorrectly. Especially in the caption thread. That's cool. I'll try and keep it PC for an American like yourself.

    Life is short. Laugh at everything or go in hiding. I've seen enough in life to not take anything personal or judge anyone based on comments made in jest regarding stereotypes. I've been called many things in life but racist has never been one. Those rs ists have called me a few things.

    I would suggest that you pull your head out of your ass and learn something about a person before you judge.

    Wow.

    "Finooks" huh?


    Is it safe to assume you're a bigoted anti gay rights radical?

    I still insist that blacks are better athletes and Mexicans better cooks.
    And that koufax was just joking and not being racist much or funny much let's not get them all in a bunch.
    Asians also good bookkeepers.
    Keep it by the book.
