catching is the Yankees most stacked position in the minors, they'll be fine. Truthfully, there hasn't been much farm talent the yankees truly regret trading away.

can't front, this actually feels embarassing . we really don't need cliff lee or jason werth. we're doing just fine with what we got. i like the idea of facing a tough team with a tough pitcher, makes it more interesting.


this move kinda takes the suspense and drama out because now we're really gonna wipe the floor with everyone. 96' will always be my favorite chip cause we weren't expected to win, we fought, clutch hits good enough pitching.


this just feels dirty ...........



oh well .......

To repeat the #Yankees aren't getting Cliff Lee, #Mariners concerned about David Adams ankle plus apparently another team has jumped in hard

 

[shaunhillftw49]

Damn, NY taking the bait only for it to be pulled back again. unless its the Mets

I'll say it's the Reds.

 

[proshares]

If it's the Reds, they're reallllllllly pushing for this year to be their year huh? And if Volquez comes back with any kind of control...

Last I heard, they were talking to Washington about a potential return for Adam Dunn.

[N41D]

Better not involve Smoak...

 

[usa pride4life]

yup the Rangers are willing to throw Smoak in now, only a matter of time  

An official of uninvolved team said that #Rangers now willing to put Justin Smoak in a deal for Cliff Lee. And don't count out #Reds.

 

[jpzx]

Minnesota WHERE ARE YOU?

 

[paul is on tilt]

Is it official? I don't see anything reported yet.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/07/yankees-may-be-close-to-acquiring-cliff-lee.html

3:57pm: The Rangers will acquire Lee and Mark Lowe for Justin Smoak and three others, according to Sherman (via Twitter). Lowe will miss the rest of the season with back surgery, so his inclusion in the trade is puzzling. Rosenthal confirms that the Rangers are acquiring Lee and says the Mariners are sending cash (Twitter link).

 

[651akathepaul]

It's Texas...Seattle radio stations are all over it.

Smoak has been pulled from the lineup tonight for Texas as well.
