Cole Hamels is aiming to pitch for an MLB team in 2023, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.
The veteran starting pitcher made 27 appearances for the Chicago Cubs in 2019, going 7-7 with a 3.81 ERA and a 4.09 FIP. His 2.5 WAR ranked fifth among Cubs pitchers.
While his days as an elite ace were gone, the 38-year-old looked to still have another solid season or two left in the tank coming off that success. The Atlanta Braves obviously thought so too, signing him to a one-year, $18 million contract.
