The Phillies trade and Los Angeles Dodgers trade involving shortstop Jimmy Rollins could be getting much bigger and much more franchise-changing reports suggests.

According to Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports and Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, the Phillies and Dodgers have had conversations about adding Phillies left-handed ace pitcher Cole Hamels and second baseman Chase Utley in addition to the deal in place for Rollins.

In addition to trading for Rollins, the Dodgers also traded second baseman Dee Gordon to the Miami Marlins for four prospects. Moving Gordon creates a hole at second base that easily could be filled by Utley.

In bolstering an already deep farm system with the possibility of trading Matt Kemp also looming, the Dodgers could be on the verge of clearing enough salary space to absorb the Hamels' contract.

The Dodgers have continuously been linked to Hamels in recent weeks and months.

The Rollins trade has yet to be officially announced which certainly opens up speculation that a larger deal could be on the horizon.

Wednesday was a busy one for the Phillies, who also traded reliever Antonio Bastardo to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

If Phillies go full rebuild, #Dodgers just got 4 prospects from MIA (Hamels/Utley in play?), could get Grandal+prospects from SD (Kemp) too. — Bill Shaikin (@BillShaikin) December 11, 2014
