Cole Hamels asking price is a piece of the moon, conceptual notes on time travel, cutting edge medical knowledge.
Looks like they are 'leaders' in the clubhouse. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Industry sentiment has Rangers as favorites for Cole Hamels.

Tulow and Hawkins for Reyes and prospects that haven't been announced yet Be interesting to see if the Rox want to plug Reyes into their lineup, or if he is gonna be on the move again in the next couple of days
The Blue Jays didn't give up much from what it seems. None of their top prospects. The Mets should've gotten in on this and gotten Tulo. The Mets are such a cheap organization. They needed Tulo more than any team out there trying to make a run.
Blue Jays gave up a MLB shortstop who has been very good through out his career when healthy, 2 high level prospects plus another decent prospect. Hoffman was #33 on BA's Midseason top 50.
Reyes is good when healthy but he's been a defensive liability this season. I've see him cost them 3 or 4 games singlehandedly with defensive errors, especially in late innings. Funny how Blue Jays need pitching but they give up their own pitching prospects. They may not be done but this move alone definitely does not vault them to the top of their division.

That's still not really much. Reyes can never stay healthy. Yeah Hoffman and Castro are solid prospects, but the Mets could've given Wheeler and a couple of their bottom prospects and gotten Tulo. Not really sure why Toronto even did this deal, they need arms not bats.
