Report says Phils, Hamels 'close' to deal

Phillies fans who have suffered through a mostly miserable season have good news and even better news this morning.

First, the Phils staged another classic late rally last night to come from way back to beat the Brewers.

More importantly, all signs are pointing toward the team coming to terms on an extension with ace lefty Cole Hamels. Ken Rosenthal has a report on Foxsports.com saying the two sides are 'close' to a deal.

Another report has Hamels' agent flying in today.

An announcement today would make sense, since the Phils will face the Brewers in an Businessperson's Special at 1. It's their final home game before the trade deadline.
