With reports swirling that Hamels is on his way to the Windy City, NBC Sports California cameras found the lefty in the Rangers dugout talking to his teammates. He was not hugging them.
A four-time All-Star, Hamels is having a down year for the last-place Rangers. In 20 starts, he's 5-9 with a 4.72 ERA and 114 strikeouts in 114.1 innings pitched.
