MLB Trade Rumors: Cole Hamels: “The Yankees have a tremendous team. I feel like I have a lot left…”

By -

With June just around the corner, the Trade Deadline buzz, speculation, and rumors will be in full-swing sooner rather than later. The Yankees do not have a lot of holes on their roster, but it is a consensus by now that a starting pitcher is the most glaring need. The Yankees have been linked to Hamels in the early going, and now he is showing a desire to pitch in some big games in New York.

Hamels told the NY post the following: “The Yankees have a tremendous team. I feel like I have a lot left and I’ve been able to add more pitches and I haven’t had a serious injury. You want to win every single game you go out and play. There’s a lot of games I don’t get to play and you want to be able to see the winning environment [and] that sort of atmosphere. The excitement from everybody, I think that’s the kind of energy that has been created over in the AL East and those guys.

In a nutshell, Hamels wants to win and admires the Yankee as a franchise. Hamels is a former WS MVP and saw the Yankees beat his Phillies in the World Series in 2009. He was acquired by the Rangers back when they were perennial contenders, but with them now occupying the cellar of the AL West, Hamels wants another chance to win and feels that he could be a key cog for a contender like the Yankees.

Hamels currently boasts a 3.48 ERA in nine starts in 2018 and will face the Yankees tonight in Arlington.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
