    Which team is gonna end up with Cliff Lee this year?

    If im a fellow competitor to the yanks i would seriously think of getting this guy on July 31st or before. Lets face it the yanks cant get a sniff of this guy and in a 5 game series he could be the difference. So who has a chance to get him?

    Boston
    Detroit
    Texas
    Minny
    Angels
    Tampa


    Or maybe a NL team

    Braves
    Mets
    Cards
    Reds
    Dodgers


    What you guys think is gonna happen to him?

    twins got the best prospect to offer and he a catcher so not like he gonna get a chance to play in minny any time soon, if they dont step up and go for him it would be a shame because i think they a ace away from having a shot to go far......

    wouldnt mind that either but everything i hear is wont happen if they dont get team sold, i just want it to be a team that has a shot at knocking off the spankies so tex or minny would be cool with me, in a perfect world STL would grab him but that isnt gonna happen, not our style......

    I would say the AL Central big 3 (Twins, Tigers, and to a lesser extent, the WSox) have the greatest need for a top tier ace as this will be one of the tightest divisions down the stretch. The Reds will also need the help of a top ace to compete with the Cards.

    The Mariners are going to be able to clean up on this potential trade.

    seems too obvious he'd go to minny.

    i'd say the rangers go all in here and gun for lee for a championship run.

    I live in Seattle and am a lifelong M's fan. We've screwed some deals up in the past, so I'm just hoping we don't blow it again...

    Definitely a chance to bring in a future star. Cardinals and Twins sound like the frontrunners right now, although I'm not too excited that the Cards only real prospect of value is Shelby Miller. The Yanks are throwing up the "we're no longer interested" smokescreen, but they've got the better catcher prospect and would definitely would have the edge over the Twins if they were willing to part with him. Probably won't tho...

    Yanks pick him up. Other teams will show interest, and the evil empire will out bid all of them. happens every time.

    rangers need to do something. they seem to be picked to win the division most years lately and fail to deliver. this could be their year and they could use the extra bump a guy like lee would give them.

    Even if the Red sox wanted him, the Yankees would pay more just to keep him out of boston. Happens all the time. They get whoever the sox want, and they even get some to leave boston.

    In a huge upset coming from out of nowhere, he will end up with a multiyear contract back with the Phillies.

    Anyone who guesses Yankees can think again. They're not giving up Romine or Montero for Lee, especially when they'll just sign him in the winter. He will be a Yankee, but not until the season ends.

    I hope he goes to the Angels, as they are my favorite teams. Though I think he goes to the Rangers, or Minny.

    the yanks wont trade for him when they can just get him in the offseason by opening their wallet.

    mariners want a catcher and the twins have a stud in the minors.

    Brewers or Cards. Boston might make a move. If Texas was not in bankruptcy, I think that would make a move for Lee instead of Oswalt.
