It is two days away from the Major League Baseball trade deadline and Phillies trade chip Jeremy Hellickson could bring the team a bigger haul than just a top-5 prospect after this morning's deal between the Padres and Marlins.
Sign that the trade market has officially gotten out of hand: Jeremy Hellickson may well fetch at least three, and perhaps four, prospects.

On Wednesday, ESPN's Jayson Stark said that the Phillies are demanding a top-5 prospect in a deal for Hellickson. If Matt Klentak plays his cards right though, he could bring a bigger return if a trade made this morning is any indication on how the league values starting pitchers.
San Diego sent starters Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea plus reliever Tayron Guerrero to Miami for top first base prospect Josh Naylor, righty Jarred Cosart, minor league right-hander Luis Castillo and injured reliever Carter Capps. Cashner is 4-7 with a 4.76 ERA and Rea is 5-5 with a 4.98 ERA this season, so Hellickson's value could be potentially much larger now with the Marlins parting with a top prospect among other pieces to acquire two mid-tier starters.
With Miami now out 0f the running for Hellickson, other teams to keep an eye on are the Blue Jays, Orioles and Giants.
Hellickson, 29, has made 21 starts, posting a 7-7 record with a 3.65 ERA, 107 strikeouts and a 1.12 WHIP. He will become a free agent following the 2016 season. He is scheduled to make his next start on Saturday in Atlanta.
