The Dodgers are not a match for Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels at the moment, according to FoxSports.com.
The price for Hamels is high, and the Phillies would want one of Joc Pederson or Corey Seager in a deal. The Dodgers, however, don't have to give up young talent in order to acquire an elite pitcher. Los Angeles is said to be looking at some of the elite starters left on the market. It appears the club will focus on the market before turning back to Hamels.
The 30-year-old Hamels posted a 2.46 ERA over 204 2/3 innings last season. He's owed $90 million over the next four seasons.
