Phillies Acquire Hellickson from Diamondbacks

2016 Chachi New Additions #2
General Manager Matt Klentak made his first trade of his Phillies tenure yesterday, acquiring starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson from the Diamondbacks for minor league pitcher Sam McWilliams. Hellickson went 9-2 with a 4.62 ERA in 27 starts for Arizona last season, and he might be best remembered by Phillies fans as the pitcher who broke Maikel Franco's wrist with a fastball back on August 11th.

Hellickson was named the American League Rookie of the Year in 2011 after his fine first season with the Rays.  Hellickson's most recent baseball cards can be found in the 2015 Topps and Topps Heritage sets.

McWilliams, just 20 years old, pitched for the Gulf Coast League Phillies last season, and he hasn't appeared on any minor league baseball cards yet.
