Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies
According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, clubs around the league believe that there are four potential landing spots for Hamels, who is arguably the most-sought after player available: the Chicago Cubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Boston Red Sox and the Texas Rangers. Although the Phillies are in an obvious position to sell, the price is going to be steep. Not only has Hamels, 31, been one of the best left-handed starters in the league over the last several years, but he's under team control through 2019, making him far more than just a mid-season rental. It's likely going to take an immediate-impact player or elite prospect to get him. Per Stark, the Cubs have reportedly put top-10 prospect Javier Baez on the table, while the Rangers may have to part with someone like Joey Gallo or Jorge Alfaro. (Getty)
