phillies are fishing for a taker. if any team claims lee for sure he'd be pulled off waivers and they'd try and work out a trade.

i could see the yankees taking a bite. their starting rotation is iffy.

I don't believe they want to spend another $21M per year.

it's only money. and the yankees have more of it than anyone. angels got better. rangers got better. i can't see the yankees feeling great about playoff pitching matchups. but then again, what do i know?

Why wouldn't the desperate BJs take him?

Cuz. Nobody wants to take over that contract. Happens all the time after the deadline, and it is extremely rare that someone is picked up. They can also pull him back if someone claims him.

Chicago took Alex Rios off our hands....

Why wouldn't the pathetic BJs take him?

The Nats owners have more money than the Yankees.
That said, I just don't see it.

I obviously don't follow baseball but we're talking about one of the top pitchers in the game from 1 (2?) year ago no?

How many years left?

Hitting .315 with over 60 RBIs... we don't need players like that..





EDIT: or pitchers with functioning elbows

The 33-year-old Lee earns $21.5MM this year and $25MM per season from 2013-15. His contract includes a $27.5MM vesting option ($12.5MM buyout) for 2016.

He also has veto power for a trade to 21 teams.

I mean I am not sure the Chisox thought they would get him.

I am sure the Jays are on his preferred list...

he'd look good in a nats uniform. that said, i don't see it. to me, it's the yankees or he stays in philly. 3 more years at 25 million a season.
