Will Cliff Lee get the biggest pitching contract ever?

big joe 1212 · 10-12-10, 09:17 PM

Of course the Yankees will leave CC #1 in the regular season, but by the playoffs next year, Lee will be #1

brxbmbers42 · 10-12-10, 09:17 PM

CC will still be the #1. let me see Lee do it in NYC before he becomes #1.

Pauulzcappin · 10-12-10, 09:17 PM

I don't know if he's gonna be a Yank, but if Lackey got a 80 million deal for 5 years, what would be a fair contract for Lee?

big joe 1212 · 10-12-10, 09:19 PM

I see him getting close to 30 mill a year from the Yanks

big joe 1212 · 10-12-10, 09:20 PM

Imagine if he pitches for the Mets?

He would have an incredibly low ERA pitching in that stadium!

brxbmbers42 · 10-12-10, 09:22 PM

mets would never sign him. they only sign second rate semi over the hill free agents. lee is way too cream of the crop for there taste

CorkyThatcher · 10-12-10, 09:24 PM

Indians had them both. But they are cheap fukkkkkkks!

jpowderly · 10-12-10, 09:25 PM

Texas signed him because his record against the Yankees

Exactly!

But I'm wishful thinking since I'm a Mets fan!

Maybe the new GM can change things, but those Jewish owners are surely Jewish!

I believe lee was in the mets system. got traded to cle in roberto alomar pkg

Lee was in the Expos system.

He got traded to Cleveland with Grady Sizmore and Brandon Phillips for Bartolo Colon.

Best deal ever!

Austin103 · 10-12-10, 09:30 PM

Mets should sign him, pay the man.

big joe 1212 · 10-12-10, 09:31 PM

If he goes into Yankee Stadium and shuts them down, the Yankees MUST give him a blank check!

They would fear him signing with another AL contender!

Like Texas

ZetaPsi808 · 10-19-10, 02:17 AM

he will get less years than CC bc lee is 31 years old

latinrus · 10-19-10, 02:25 AM

Why my Bosox payded for Lackey? kick him out and bring Lee! We'll have more wins against yankees! Bucholtz - Lee - Lester! Is that possible?

Pauulzcappin · 10-19-10, 02:38 AM

Red Sox can't compete with Yanks for a player unless Lee doesn't want to be a Yankee.

Red Sox should focus on fighting for Crawford/Soriano since Paps will be gone, maybe to Angels.

Yanks get Lee hopefully.

$Burm$ · 10-19-10, 02:41 AM

can't see Lee becoming a yankee especially if he beats them in this series, why move to a team that you just manhandled. Lee doesn't seem like a guy thats dieing for a record breaking deal, he'll get a lot of money whether he wants it or not, but can't see him on the yanks.

big joe 1212 · 10-19-10, 10:30 AM

Yanks will have to pay a lot more for him because of NY state taxes and cost of living, unless he just really wants to be a Yankee and have a better opportunity at winning!

Sam Odom · 10-19-10, 10:38 AM

The Padres will open their purse wide open ...

Never mind

blackbeSSt · 10-19-10, 10:38 AM

if the rangers lose this series, he becomes a yank next year. if they win the series i see them winning it all and he won't need to go to new york for a ring.

StraightWinners · 10-19-10, 10:44 AM

If he goes to the yankees i may stop watching baseball forever.

l7ustin · 10-19-10, 10:47 AM

hes gonna resign in texas, he lives in arkansas, he wants to be close to home; as long as the rangers pay somewhere near what the yanks offer and dont completely lowball him, Texas can pay less and still get him

LordVodka · 10-19-10, 10:56 AM

Hope he doesn't go to the Yanks. He means more in Texas than he would in New York.

In the Yankees he'd be just another AllStar.

first, lee will not be in yankees uniform..... even if he signs with yankees and yankees give him a blank check like you said(huge contract), I can totally see how he's going to under performe and all the media will say how yankees waste their big chunk of money on lee.....

jjgold · 10-19-10, 11:09 AM

He is getting a little older so need to be careful with anything more than 5 years

He would win 12 games with Mets

MartinBlank · 10-19-10, 11:40 AM

Nolan Ryan is going to get Lee re-signed.

Listening to Nolan Ryan on Sirius this morning------it sounds like the numbers have already been worked out----just need the off-season to get his signature on it.

ProfaneReality · 10-19-10, 11:45 AM

5 years 115 million from the yankees

So true! He would be like 12-11 with a 1.25 ERA!

Pauulzcappin · 10-19-10, 12:04 PM

Cliff Lee is not very good in regular season, with the exception of 2008

nobodyukno · 10-19-10, 01:09 PM

Hes getting a 3 year $75 million deal

MB · 10-19-10, 01:50 PM

If he goes to the Yankees I'm done with baseball again
