The team Hellickson dominated Wednesday night got a good look at what he could do to their opponents. Despite having Jose Fernandez leading the rotation, Miami is looking for a middle of the rotation starter.

ESPN’s Jayson Stark has linked them to the Phillies right-hander, saying “they’ve had longstanding interest” in acquiring him.

The Marlins depth chart currently lists only four starters in their rotation, meaning they could take on a veteran such as Hellickson without sacrificing the slot of a young reliever.
