The Phillies have extended a qualifying offer to Hellickson, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hellickson has seven days to accept or reject the qualifying offer of $17.2 million for the 2017 season. He is expected to reject it to look for a multi-year deal in a weak free agent market for starting pitchers. The Phillies will receive a compensation pick in the 2017 draft if Hellickson rejects the offer and signs with another club.
