Final Thoughts
So long, trade value.
Jeremy Hellickson probably wiped away any chance the Phillies had of landing a decent prospect for him with tonight’s performance. Hellickson had been pitching decently of late, but still wasn’t particularly strong. With tonight’s dismal showing, he probably put a lot of potential suitors off.
Speaking of trade value, the team also rushed Howie Kendrick back into the lineup tonight, in hopes that he can somehow garner enough value over the next week to be dealt before the deadline.
