The Phillies could consider this unique Cole Hamels reunion
There is no secret that former Philadelphia Phillies star left-handed pitcher Cole Hamels is near the end of his playing career. The soon-to-be 37-year-old made just one start for the Atlanta Braves during the 2020 season, battling several injuries along the way.
Hamels enters free agency for the second consecutive offseason and has not hinted he wants to retire just yet. Both the Phillies and the 2008 World Series Most Valuable Player reportedly expressed mutual interest in a reunion last offseason, shortly after the hire of Joe Girardi as manager.
