Cubs pitcher Jason Hammel isn't worried about trade rumors, according to MLB.com.
Hammel is well aware of the team's tendency to flip veterans for prospects at the trade deadline, but he's only concerned about his current status. "I could care less," Hammel said. "I’m wearing blue pinstripes right now and I’m excited to be here. I don’t think about that kind of stuff."
He added that he's happy to be in Chicago now, and just wants to win games with the team. "For right now, that’s all that matters to me," he said.
Hammel has a 2.91 ERA over 58 2/3 innings.
