Orioles In On Jeremy Hellickson

By Steve Adams | July 28, 2017 at 9:22pm CDT

9:22pm: The Orioles are “active” on Hellickson, tweets Rosenthal. That’s a rather surprising development, given that the Orioles are seven games back in the AL East and six back in the Wild Card race. Most of the talk on them has involved the Orioles selling off pieces in recent weeks, though many have been skeptical that owner Peter Angelos would ultimately give GM Dan Duquette the green light on selling off some veteran assets.

5:55pm: Zolecki also tweets that the field conditions were a significant factor, though he tweets that the Phillies are in “serious” trade talks involving Hellickson.

5:45pm: MLB Network’s Ken Rosenthal tweets that Hellickson “has not been traded — yet,” adding that the Phils are in active trade discussions involving the right-hander and did not want to take any chances with rainy, sloppy conditions on the field tonight.

5:41pm: The Phillies have scratched right-hander Jeremy Hellickson from tonight’s start, tweets MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki. While Zolecki notes that no trade has yet been finalized, “something’s cooking” with Hellickson and a yet-unreported club.

Hellickson, 30, accepted a qualifying offer from the Phillies this past offseason, locking him in at a $17.2MM salary for the 2017 season. He’s still owed about $6.1MM of that total through season’s end, though reports have indicated that the Phils would be willing to pay down some of the remaining commitment.

After an uninspiring start to the season, Hellickson has upped his strikeout totals in recent starts, working to a 4.33 ERA with 7.9 K/9, 1.8 BB/9 and a 36.1 percent ground-ball rate in 35 1/3 innings. That uptick in strikeouts is especially notable, as Hellickson averaged a league-worst 3.97 K/9 through his first 14 starts of the season.

      I’m sure the Phillies will pay as much of the remaining salary as they can to get a C-prospect in the lower minors that won’t need 40-man protection this offseason. Next to no chance he gets moved without the Phillies throwing in a good amount of money.

        The more they pay the better the prospect. Even at that it won’t be much of a prospect.

      Orioles? Lots of former Orioles baseball ops staff work for Phillies and Orioles have been rumored interested in Hellickson in the past.

      Hardly low cost. If Philly eats salary they will want prospects. If not then the Dodgers will be stuck with over 6mil to pay

        Even with eating salary, I wouldn’t expect quality prospects in return. Then again, the SP market is that bad outside of Darvish but I’m not getting my hopes up.

        6M is low cost to the Dodgers but not money well spent for a 2 month rental. If they trade a lower tier prospect back for some cost relief then it’s a good gamble

    A couple High-Class A pitchers that don’t need to be on the 40 man roster seems to be a fair return and make sense.

    The Phillies should’ve traded him last year they would’ve gotten a way better price

      The story was that the Phillies and Marlins agreed to a Hellickson for Naylor deal after the MIA-SD trade fell apart, but the commissioner’s office preferred they try to re-work the deal with SD and they did. Once that happened, there wasn’t enough time for the Phillies to make a deal to their liking. But yup, last year they could have gotten a decent prospect. Eh it happens.

      Even better, package him with Tommy Joseph and get even better return. Don’t the Yankees need a 1B and pitching?

        i dont think the yankees would be interested in Joseph. If they look for an up grade they would look for a bigger upgrade then Joseph,

        6 years ago

        Tommy Joseph has next to no trade value unfortunately. He’s a right handed 1B who can’t play anywhere else who doesn’t mash enough to make up for the rest. If they traded Joseph, Hellickson, plus a lot of money to cover Hellickson’s salary, I still wouldn’t expect much of a return other than a few lower level, C-level prospects.

          30 HR over a full year isn’t enough “mashing?”

        • Coast1

          6 years ago

          He doesn’t walk and doesn’t hit for average, so his OBP is .311. He’s a poor defender, so he has 0 WAR.

    Please Phillies do not sell low. I want this team to play competitively again, but I know that it will take time (years). Therefore, it does not matter who interested, present your best offer.

    I’m gonna bet that this has to do with the Dodgers simply because of Hellickson’s connection to Friedman in Tampa and we know how much he loves to pull old Rays/A’s to the Dodgers. Also because of the prior history in dealing with the Phillies (Utley, Kemdrick, Ellis, etc)

    If I had to guess Im thinking either KC or Seattle. He doesn’t have the stuff to be used as a reliever and he’s not necessarily the talent level that the players with deeper systems and pockets would shoot for.

    It seems to be obvious to the rest of the baseball universe. Why are the Orioles buying? The Orioles are not going to the playoffs. This is so frustrating to witness.
