The Red Sox and Phillies have not made progress on a deal for pitcher Cole Hamels, according to the Boston Herald.
The Red Sox have been mentioned as a contender for Hamels in the past, but the club is hesitant to give up their top prospects for the pitcher. Though Phillies' special assistant to the general manager Charley Kerfeld was spotted at Red Sox facilities on Monday, two sources told the Herald that no progress has been made on a deal.
The Phillies are said to covet either Mookie Betts or Blake Swihart, but Boston has refused to include either player in a deal.
Hamels, 31, posted a 2.46 ERA over 204 2/3 innings last year.
