If you have the money and you're a Major League Baseball team, odds are you are going after Cliff Lee, with force. Lee, who over the past three to five years has solidified himself as one of the top pitchers in the game. All he does is win on the big stage, meaning the post-season, and the past two years he has carried teams into the playoffs. Now is his chance to cash in. Lee and his agent have made it a point though that they will sit and wait, making everyone come to them. They will go through the league team by team until they find a team that they believe is the perfect suitor for Lee. Most people, including myself, believe that will be the New York Yankees.
That's right folks, the rich get richer once again. The Yankees made a push at the trade deadline to get Lee but the Mariners simply used them a chips to set up a deal with Texas. Who knows, the the Yankees had Lee maybe they would have won back to back championships? But now is their chance to lock him up for the next five years and you could bet your money on the fact that they will get their man.
Forget about all the talk with his wife saying she doesn't like the New York fans because they cursed at her and spit at her. You know what his wife will like? Money. You know who has a lot of money to give her husband? The Yankees. So suck it up Mrs. Lee and next year you'll be cheering with those lovable Yankee fans instead of cheering against them.
