PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Could Cole Hamels wear red pinstripes once again? The 2008 World Series MVP and free agent pitcher says he would “love the opportunity to come back” and play for the Philadelphia Phillies.
“I know Philly is finally trying to make that push,” Hamels told MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki. “They’re building their roster. If I fit on their roster and their plans, I’d love the opportunity to come back. It’s probably more on their end, though, to reach out and see if I actually do fit in their plans. It would be difficult for me to say, ‘Hey, I want to play there, can you guys make it happen?
