Cole Hamels Is Willing. Are the Yankees?

              The Yankees are getting younger with every trade that GM Brian Cashman makes, but is a trade for Cole Hamels worth the prospects? The Yankees biggest need right now is a starting pitcher, and neither Max Scherzer nor James Shields seems to be a perfect fit for the Yankees. Scherzer wants "ace money" and they don't need an ace so why pay for one, and Shields has the right price but his terrible postseason record makes him a questionable target. Hamels is the best of both these pitchers, being that his postseason ERA is 3.09, he was a NLCS and World Series MVP in 2008, and the remainder on his contract is around the same amount James Shields is looking for. The problem with the Hamels trade doesn't seem to Cashman, but Phillies GM Rubin Amaro Jr. He is known for overvaluing his players, which typically ends in the deal falling through, remembering the Marlin Byrd deal that fell through last year because Amaro Jr wanted to get top prospect Aaron Judge in return. So expect to see top prospects given up if the deal does go through such as Gary Sanchez, Eric Jagielo, and Ian Clarkin.
