i have a massive boner

[Eagles_Legendz]

If they can keep Lee too....

Though if they trade Lee I don't mind it as a move for the future.  They could be resigned to the fact that they aren't signing him long term.  This would allow them to keep their core prospects, get Halladay, and sign him long term.  Hard to argue with that.   

[Don Ho]

Halladay and his agent?  This is beyond boners.

[SunMo]

i've heard that Lee didn't want to pitch this year on the last year of his deal and that Amaro wanted to have both guys for 2010.  so putting Lee in the 3-way deal is because of Lee, not Amaro. 

[smeags]

lee wouldnt have a choice but to pitch this year. it comes down to being able to sign halladay long term.

[SunMo]

he wouldn't have a choice, but he could make life miserable if he wanted to.

[BigEd76]

Heyman reported it was a done deal with Lee going to Seattle, Taylor + 3 Seattle prospects to Toronto and Halladay + cash coming here

[smeags]

sun mo - baseball is a different animal than football. you dont see that type of situation nearly as much.

again, being able to sign halladay makes sense and when you take away lee's, feliz', thome's and eaton's contracts they have money to pay halladay.

[Eaglez]

I hate to see Lee go but if the Phils think they can get Halladay cheaper than Lee long term than it is absolutely worth it. 

[SunMo]

jesus, heyman is saying Brown and Lee now.  that would not be good if nothing else came back

[smeags]

dont be surprised to see lee go to the angels
