One entire prospect, eh?
The Phillies didn’t make a trade at eight this morning. Then they didn’t make one at ten, or around lunch, or three, with only an hour left before the trade deadline. The deafening sound of a ticking clock didn’t seem to haunt them into making a deal for no reason, which went against the advice of just about everyone.
Jeremy Hellickson is still a Phillie. Vince Velasquez is still a Phillie. Andres Blanco, Peter Bourjos, and Cody Asche are all still Phillies, not that they had much of a chance of escaping red pinstripes with all the declining/injuring themselves they’ve been doing of late.
