Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. expects to have pitcher Cole Hamels in camp, according to ESPN.

Hamels has been subject to trade rumors all offseason, but it appears he'll start camp with the Phillies. "I would expect him to be in spring training with the Phillies," Amaro said. "And I would expect him to be our opening day starter." Amaro added that his prediction could change based on a phone call or two, but expects Hamels to be in Phillies camp for now. 

Amaro admitted to talking to teams about Hamels, but said they haven't settled on the right deal yet. "There are teams interested -- and should be -- in a guy like Cole. But clearly, we haven't gotten to the finish line with those teams," Amaro added.

Part of the issue might be Hamels' contract. The 31-year-old is set to earn $96 million over the next four years. The Phillies reportedly don't want to pay much of that out, but that could lead to them receiving lesser offers for Hamels. Hamels also has a partial no-trade clause, allowing him to block a deal to eight different clubs. 

Hamels is coming off a season in which he posted a 2.46 ERA over 204 2/3 innings.
