The Philadelphia Phillies agreed to terms late Monday night with Lee, the prized left-hander who pitched for them in the 2009 World Series, according to a baseball official told of the deal. The official, who said he believed the deal was for at least five years and $100 million, was granted anonymity so he could speak freely about a contract that was not finalized.
I think it is a big deal for both NY teams. The Yankees have no-one they can count on after CC and Phil Hughes. Aj has been very iffy and then you are stuck with Nova and Mitre…The mets basically just lost the division. Their division rival has 4 top of the rotation aces, who have pitched extremely well in the postseason, sans Lee in the Ws this yr.
Im happy in a way, because it was a wake up call to the Yankees that not everyone can be bought off with money.
