Phillies trade Jeremy Hellickson to Orioles
The Philadelphia Phillies had a busy night Friday.
Starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson is headed to the Orioles, and the Phillies will receive outfielder Hyun Soo Kim and left-handed pitcher Garrett Cleavinger from Baltimore.
In the trade announced after Baltimore's 8-2 loss in Texas on Friday night, Philadelphia will get an international amateur signing bonus pool allocation, and the Phillies will send cash to the Orioles to cover part of the $6.1 million remaining of Hellickson's $17.2 million salary.
Because of inclement weather and trade speculation, Hellickson was scratched earlier Friday night from his scheduled start at home against Atlanta. Hellickson was pulled about an hour before the game.
Hellickson is 6-5 with a 4.73 ERA in 20 starts for the Phillies this season. He was 18-15 in 52 starts over two seasons in Philadelphia.
"Jeremy Hellickson is a solid, dependable veteran major league starter who knows how to win in the American League,'' Orioles' executive vice president for baseball operations Dan Duquette said.
Kim, a native of South Korea, hit .232 with one homer and 10 RBIs in 56 games for the Orioles. The 29-year-old outfielder hit .302 last year in his major league debut after signing with Baltimore.
Cleavinger has 42 strikeouts over 38 2/3 innings in 27 appearances for Double-A Bowie. The Orioles selected him in the third round of the 2015 amateur draft.
