Giants reportedly among teams interested in Cole Hamels

More than a decade after the San Francisco Giants prevented the Philadelphia Phillies from reaching a third consecutive World Series title, they apparently have interest in signing one of the key members of that Phillies team.

According to Jon Morosi of MLB.com, the Giants “are among the clubs to express preliminary interest” in Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP.

After signing a one-year/$18 million deal with the division-rival Atlanta Braves last offseason, shoulder and arm injuries limited Hamels to just one start for the eventual National League East Champions. That comes after an oblique injury limited him to 27 starts for the Chicago Cubs in 2019.
