The Toronto Blue Jays are exploring all of their options at the general managers' meetings.

The Blue Jays have inquired about the availability of Cole Hamels, Chase Utley and Antonio Bastardo with the Philadelphia Phillies, reports Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun.

The Phillies are reportedly seeking three top prospects in exchange for Hamels' services, but it's unclear if the Blue Jays are on the lefty's 20-team no-trade list.

Utley, who would be a huge upgrade at second base for Toronto, also has the ability to block deals to any club.

Bastardo, a left-handed reliever, would be the most cost-effective option for the Jays, as he's eligible for salary arbitration this offseason.
