Balta1701 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 No. They can currently hold out fora similar price to what they got for Sabathia, and they're not going to get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 10:41 AM) No. They can currently hold out fora similar price to what they got for Sabathia, and they're not going to get that. His contract for next year (can't remember if it's a team option or what the status is) is also really reasonable. If you're Cle and look at the division right now, with some health next year they can be right in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 He only makes like $7 or 8 mil next year, which is a steal, but the issue is none of their other starting pitchers are any good, which will keep them from competing next year either way. With the favorable contract, they should be able to get a pretty good deal for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Should they, yes (if they get a good package). They still need a lot more help in the rotation, lineup, bullpen, and also the coaching staff. Will they, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 It appears that the Tribe and Rays are having discussions about Lee. The Tribe wants a minimum of two top prospects and is asking for Wade Davis as one of them. (Although the Rays are balking on his inclusion so far.) There have been some discussions, per ESPN, of a third team getting involved to help make all the parties happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 The Indians would be crazy to not deal Lee and Victor for all the prospects they can get. Their last rebuilding effort fell way short and it seems like it's time to try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 if the Rays could get Lee or Halladay that would be a tremendous 3 team race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Lee could also do wonders for the development of Kazmir and Price. It would seem to really make sense for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ironic, but they (Rays) got rid of Edwin Jackson going into the same season of arbitration eligibility, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
