I just don't see how they could defend the move. He is making 17M. Are they going to make him a QO? Some deal where he accepts the trade and a new contract is in place? Makes no sense. 

The only way it makes sense for me is if eickoff or nola are also included in the deal and hellickson is a salary dump

Agreed. Maybe we're trying to get franco or something.

Hellickson is still owed 6.6m. There is a negative infinity chance the Phillies aren't paying a lot of that.

I mean he is making 17M and has an ERA of around 4.75.

Even so why do it? 

[Lucky_13]

Apparently we got him. Unbelievable

I hate this team's ownership and front office so much.

Why do the Orioles need Jeremy Hellickson.

Why.

Actually maybe the Orioles are finally admitting they can't actually "grow the arms". They've done pretty well "growing the bats".

I'm just as puzzled as everyone else.

Heyman says we have him. Good lord.

What are we doing?  This better be for peanuts.

Ok so we're trying to get Hellickson. Does anyone here seriously believe he's going to pull the Orioles out of the hole they dug themselves in? This front office is mentally challenged. 

We need an influx of young talent for a rebuild not retreads.
