The last time we saw Cole Hamels in a Phillies uniform, he pitched a no-hitter against the Cubs. Since then, he was traded to Texas, who then traded him to the Cubs. Since leaving the Phils in 2015, he's thrown more than 750 innings with a 3.74 ERA and he has struck out nearly a batter per inning. He's not the 200-plus inning workhorse he was as a Phillie, but he'd be a perfect No. 4 starter here.
He's the freaking MVP of the 2008 World Series and wants to finish his career here. "If I fit on their roster and their plans, I'd love the opportunity to come back," he told MLB.com.
Are you listening, Matt Klentak? Who would you rather have starting games for you-Cole Hamels or Vince Velasquez/Nick Pivetta? This is an absolute no-brainer.
