In a movethat will excite Theo Epstein to the point that he wets himself, Cliff Lee's agent has told the Yankees, "Thanks, but no thanks."
In case you were wondering, this pretty much guarantees that the Yankees rotation will suck. Outside of Sabathia, you are looking at 93 year old roider Andy Pettite and the ridiculously overpaid joke that is AJ Burnett. And let's be honest, Andy Pettite is still firmly in the "maybe" column.
In another turn towards the bizarre in the Cliff Lee Saga, the Phillies have joined the race for his signature. Can't imagine that in a world of accountability that Cliff Lee doesn't hold them responsible for treating the guy like an expendable hired hand, using him for half a season and then casting him off into baseball wasteland (Seattle) in the off season.
In the end, money talks but if you are Nolan Ryan, you've really gotta like your chances right now...
Keep an eye out here, as there is sure to be another batshit crazy development in this story tomorrow.
