Expect to see more of Phillies legend Cole Hamels in 2025.
Jim Salisbury of PHLY Sports reported that Hamels will be in camp with the Phillies as a guest instructor. He is also expected to be a part-time contributor on Phillies television broadcasts on NBC Sports Philadelphia during the regular season.
Hamels officially retired as a Phillie in June after a stellar 15-year career that began with Philadelphia in 2006 and ended with multiple failed comeback attempts. At the time, he expressed an interest in coaching. An appearance in spring training could be a good starting point for Hamels, who spent the final days of his career mentoring young pitchers as he battled injuries.
