Phillies, Cole Hamels Have Mutual Interest for 2020 Reunion

More than 1,500 days have passed since the Philadelphia Phillies dealt 2008 World Series Most Valuable Player Cole Hamels (along with southpaw reliever Jake Diekman) to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Jorge Alfaro, Alec Asher, Jerad Eickhoff, Matt Harrison, Jake Thompson and Nick Williams.

With Eickhoff recently electing free agency, only Williams remains, all the while even his future with the Phillies being in serious doubt.
