Rangers

One year from the blockbuster trade that sent left-handed starter Cole Hamels to the Texas Rangers, the two teams are talking again.  Less than three days from the August 1 non-waiver trade deadline, the Rangers are poised to make a big push towards the playoffs...

The MLB non-waiver trade deadline is one week from today, and teams are actively making deals.   Word broke this afternoon that the Cubs were close to acquiring relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman from the New York Yankees.  Looking for upgrades is the Texas Rangers, with whom the Phillies made the blockbuster Cole Hamels trade last season...

So the Cole Hamels era has ended in Philadelphia, but the big question is how did they make out in the deal? Ruben Amaro Jr., Pat Gillick, Andy MacPhail - who ever pulled the trigger on this massive six-for-two player deal will some day either get the credit or the blame...

Cole Hamels tenure in Philadelphia is over, he is heading to Texas to play for the Rangers. The 2008 National League Championship MVP and World Series MVP is coming off his first ever no-hitter and now is in the middle of the American League playoff race...

According to FOX Sports' MLB insider Jon Morosi the Rangers and Phillies are having "ongoing dialogue" about a Cole Hamels trade and that the left-hander is willing to waive his no-trade clause to pitch for the Rangers.

Could we have seen the last of Cliff Lee?

VOORHEES – The wait is over to see Claude Giroux return to game play. No. 28 took morning skate before the second-to-last preseason game, which will be his first action since the Flyers were knocked out of the playoffs in Game 7 of the first round by the New York Rangers five months ago...

For the first time in a long time, the goaltender---both goaltenders were not to blame. If it wasnt Ray Emery or Steve mason, then who and what was it? Claude Giroux had his moments in this series in Games 6 and 7 especially, but he was relatively quiet and missed a wide open net in Game 7 with the puck on his stick...

NEW YORK – All it takes is one mistake. In a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup playoffs, the margin of error is ridiculously slim.

For only the fifth time in NHL history, there will be three game 7s taking place on this night. Thanks to their effort on Tuesday night, the Philadelphia Flyers were able to force a Game 7 in Manhattan tonight for a chance to move on and face the Penguins next round...
