Reading between the lines . What he really means is that other teams do not want to part with any of their top prospects. Amaro may have wanted to accept a deal that was on the table but the owners probably rejected it. This is a good thing for Philly fans. The owners will not allow him to be swindled. Also I heard that certain teams wanted some cash from the Phillies as if we were trying to unload Hamels. The plan is to now to wait until the All star trade deadline for teams needing help at that time. This is a big relief for Philly fans who fear Amaros baseball mind. There is also a longshot chance that the Phillies might have a winning record at the break and then decide to keep Hamels. I can dream. Can't I.

Yes you can Northeast. Meanwhile, numbnuts is in discussions with the Brewers about a potential Papelbon trade but Papelbon has a clause in his contract similar to Howard's that voids trades to 12 teams. In Howard's case it is 20 teams. The Brewer's are not one of the 12 but the Phillies will problem get and O.K. from Paplebon just to be on the safe side. If a trade is worked out, the Phillies will have to pay part of Papelbon's contract because the Brewers aren't willing to pay the whole damn thing.

Paps wants to go to a contender. Not sure the Brewers fit the bill. But they should have a better record than the Phillies. I think the Phillies would have to give the Brewers around 6 million dollars
towards the last 2 years of Paps contract. WE have Giles in the wings so if Paps is gone then so be it.
We can probably get a low level prospect or two in the deal.

Yep, Giles is one of the reasons the Phillies are trying to move Paplebon. That and to dump salaries and get younger. At least somebody is thinking in that FO but I am not sure who it is.
