Cole Hamels time with the Phillies has come to an end, but not before he left a lasting impact.
The dominoes started to fall a few trade deadlines ago: Shane Victorino, Hunter Pence…gone. Then a couple more this past winter:Jimmy Rollins, Marlon Byrd…gone. It continued earlier this week: Jonathan Papelbon…gone. Then, the biggest domino standing was knocked over.
It hasn’t sunk in yet. It probably won’t until he pitches for his new team. Even then it might not seem possible.
