ARLINGTON -- There is a week left before the July 31 Trade Deadline and Rangers pitcher Cole Hamels just hasn't turned himself into a hot commodity.
The Yankees, Phillies and Nationals were among the teams that had scouts watching on Monday night, and what they saw was Hamels allowing seven runs in five innings in a 15-3 loss to the Athletics at Globe Life Park. The Rangers are now 4-13 in July.
The big blows off Hamels were a grand slam by Jonathan Lucroy in the second and a two-run home run by Stephen Piscotty in the fifth.
