Outfielder Hyun Soo Kim

Update: Surprisingly this was the first trade domino to fall. And it was because the Orioles were buyers on Friday night, shipping Kim, 23-year-old lefty reliever Garrett Cleavinger and international slot money to the Philadelphia Phillies for 30-year-old right-hander Jeremy Hellickson. When this piece first ran, I said I didn’t think there’d be much of a market for Kim. I still am not sure there was, but Kim fit into the deal because there was a money chasm to close. He’ll get some playing time in Philly, but the Phillies are a rebuilding club. So the pending free agent isn’t initially in their plans either.
