In accordance with the rules, the Nationals also released starter Jeremy Hellickson, though that was all part of the plan. Rizzo negotiated with Hellickson’s agent, Scott Boras, that the team would release him Saturday, then re-sign him to a minor league deal to avoid paying him the retention bonus. So, a few hours after his first Grapefruit League appearance as a National, Hellickson wasn’t getting any hugs — impressive as his four innings of one-run ball were Friday night.
