The Philadelphia Phillies and Cole Hamels have agreed to a six-year contract extension worth a little more than $140 million, pending physical, sources said Wednesday.
With the deal, the 28-year-old left-hander avoided free agency. The six-year extension makes him the second-highest paid pitcher in history, behind CC Sabathia, who signed a seven-year deal with the New York Yankees worth $161 million in 2008, and just passes Johan Santana's six-year, $137.5 million contract with the New York Mets.
Hamels had said earlier that he enjoys playing in Philadelphia and would love the opportunity to emulate one of his boyhood heroes, Tony Gwynn, and play his entire career for one franchise.

FWIW, I would also trade him for both Olt and Profar from Texas.
