Tampa Bay Rays Free Agent Target: Jeremy Hellickson

Jeremy Hellickson made his debut with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2010 and won the Rookie of the Year award in 2011 behind an impressive 13-10 record, 2.95 ERA, and a career high ERA+ of 128. He would go on to pitch three more seasons in Tampa Bay and was traded to Arizona in 2014 for two prospects, Andrew Velasquez and Justin Williams. Both Velasquez and Williams made their debut in Tampa during the 2018 season, while Williams was eventually traded to St. Louis shortly after his debut.

Hellickson battled through mediocre seasons spanning from 2013 to 2015, but rebounded nicely in Philadelphia in 2016.
