It seems almost inevitable Cubs starting pitcher Jason Hammel will be traded this summer since the Cubs are expected to be sellers at the July 31 trade deadline and free agency looms in the offseason for the veteran pitcher. Still, Hammel isn't ruling out re-signing with the Cubs after the season.
"I would assume they are pretty happy with my body of work so far and if a trade happens it happens," Hammel said, per ESPN. "But I guarantee, say I was to go to another team, I love it here. I guarantee you they wouldn't be opposed to bringing me back next year."
Hammel added, however, there are no current contract talks with the Cubs.
"I'm open to it but nothing is happening," said Hammel, who will be 32 years old in September.
