Trading for Lee might be one of the best moves Jack Zduriencik ever makes. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Buster Olney Buster_ESPN The Yankees and Mariners had actually had an agreement-in-principle, based on the physicals -- and SEA stepped away, which is all fair game. 1 minute ago via web And it looks like it paid off big time.

Better Lee to the Rangers than the Twins or Yankees. But wow. I can't wait to see who the other three players are. If Martin Perez is one of them I'm quitting the sport of baseball.
