Let the buyer beware: Cole Hamels is now susceptible to the home run.
With the Rangers about to go full-steam-ahead into the trade market, Hamels may be the most attractive piece they have to deal: An experienced starter with big-game success. But he's also dealing with unprecedented home run issues.
In a 5-2 loss to Houston Thursday, Hamels allowed a pair of homers in 7.1 innings. It was his longest outing of the season, but it also was his fourth consecutive game surrendering multiple homers. His last pitch of the game: A homer by Alex Bregman into the left field seats.
