And just like that, the Yankees are looking for a cheap fix to turn their season around.
We've heard this Cole Hamels rumor before, but when we did, it was when Hamels was in his prime. And these days? These days it almost seems too late. But that's what the Yankees do... try to find pieces that aren't too expensive in the hopes they can find lightening in a bottle and give them a shot at winning consistently. I have news for them. We don't need better players... we need better leadership... wake up!
"The New York Yankees are ready to watch Cole Hamels at a showcase this week
Hamels sure knows what it takes to win in MLB, as he’s got 15 years of experience under his belt. He’s posted a 163-122 career record, while sporting a 3.43 ERA. As impressive as he’s been, Hamels last saw extensive time back in 2019.
That season with the Chicago Cubs, he went 7-7 in 27 starts with a 3.81 ERA. At 37 years old, Hamels still has the fire to keep going and he’s now looking for a new team to give him a chance. Maybe Cashman shoots his shot?
If Hamels were to make his way to the Bronx, the Yankees would be the fifth team he’s suited up for, as previously played for the Braves, Cubs, Rangers and Phillies. Hamels spent 10 years with Philadelphia, going 114-90.
While New York may just end up doing their due diligence here and nothing else, adding a veteran lefty to the rotation is never a bad thing. If they could sign him to a low-risk kind of a deal, it could work out for both sides."
I honestly don't know what to make of it. We will have to see.
Stay tuned!
