It sure looks like Philadelphia Phillies ace Cole Hamels wants out of dodge. The same day manager Ryne Sandberg abruptly announced his resignation, the All-Star pitcher had some rather interesting comments to share to the media—comments that run contrary to what he had previously indicated.
“I have not been approached, Hamels said about accepting a potential trade,” via CSN Philly. “When I’m approached, then I can make a decision and provide an answer about a team. But I’m open-minded on everybody and everything.”
Previous reports indicated that Hamels would block any potential deal to the Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros.
