The Cubs are interested in acquiring Phillies starting pitcher Cole Hamels, according to CBS Sports Baseball Insider Jon Heyman. The Phils would require "a big outlay in terms of prospects," Heyman wrote.
Hamels, 30, is signed through 2018 and is owed $96 million over those four seasons. He went 9-9 with a 2.46 ERA in 30 starts this year.
