According to Jim Salisbury of
CSNPhilly.com,
the Phillies would demand at least one of the following top Red Sox prospects in a Cole Hamels trade: Mookie Betts, Blake Swihart, Henry Owens or Xander Bogaerts. There is no way that Boston trades Bogaerts, so it comes down to one of the other three. According to Salisbury, Philly is particularly high on Swihart. So, if
Ben Cherington is
truly sold on
Christian Vazquez, maybe this can happen. Stay close by!
