Noonskadoodle Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Buster Olney & Joel Sherman both said they could see Lee being dealt by the deadline & looks like the Rangers are the only legit landiing spot. Phillies want to save money & young players in return. I know its HIGHLY UNLIKELY but does KW give them a call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonskadoodle Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 & now there are reports that the Phillies are interested in Choo.... Are they confused in Philly? Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I don't think the Sox have the talent to trade for him (other than Viciedo). The Phillies don't have to trade him, but are looking into if they can get some solid players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 In 2015, Cliff Lee will be 36 and making $25 million. Good luck to whatever team acquires that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they confused in Philly? Haha Choo would be under their control in 2013. With their contracts & pitching, they are going for it next year.

Dick Allen Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Look at Lee's contract. You will have your answer re White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillies want to save money & young players in return. I know its HIGHLY UNLIKELY but does KW give them a call? Totally see him in Texas. They need another starter and they need to counter the Angels move. They also are very familiar with Lee and Lee really enjoyed pitching in Texas. Seems like the perfect fit, the question is what the cost is (Texas has plenty of chips). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to whatever team acquires that. This is why if the Rangers to get anyone I'd want them to get Lee. I hate Texas. Now I'm hearing that Nolan Ryan is pulling out all stops to try to get King Felix. Good God no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I respect the Rangers for going for it if they do get Lee or King Felix. Losing in the Series twice in a row has to drive you nuts, but you have to wonder if the team can last playing so many games. The Sox really fell apart in the 2nd half of 2006, so I'd say Texas is already on borrowed time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonskadoodle Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Talks have ended between Texas & Philly according to Stark, & the Dodgers are not interested. Lee staying put at least until the off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
