    The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired right-hander Jeremy Hellickson from the Tampa Bay Rays.

    The trade, announced Friday night, is the first major move by new Diamondbacks General Manager Dave Stewart. The Diamondbacks sent Tampa Bay two minor league prospects, infielder Andrew Velazquez and outfielder Justin Williams.

    "Kind of shocked a little bit," Hellickson said in a phone interview with the Tampa Bay Times. "Mixed emotions."

    Hellickson, the American League Rookie of the Year in 2011, has a 40-36 career record and a 3.78 ERA in 115 appearances, 108 starts, in five seasons with the Rays.
