Wasn't going to happen. But Florida will have to pay $750,000 to buy Helms out next season. So, this way, the Phillies save $750,000. Having said all that, when you're getting traded for $1, that's gotta be a sign that your playing days are drawing to a close. Nobody was going to pick up Helm’s contract for $2.5 million.

Really though, what kept Philadelphia from putting him on waivers? If they want to give him up for nothing, wouldn't that have saved them $2.15 million? Or is Wes Helms so bad these days that no one would possibly pick him up? What a slap in the face for Wes Helms.
