Texas Rangers Trade For Cliff Lee

Baseball Tonight Breaks Down The Cliff Lee trade.

Wow! The Texas Rangers just pulled off one heck of a trade. I know that giving up Justin Smoak hurt a bit, but if this team can get past the Yankees this October, Cliff Lee will be the reason why.

This move is equivalent to when the Cubs traded for Rick Sutcliffe. He would go on to dominate the National League, winning the Cy Young Award.

The Rangers are gunning it for a shot at a World Series Championship. This is what teams that want to change their losing ways do.

Three Aces and a World Series MVP could all be on the move.

Phillies Gearing Up For Another World Series Run

The Clevland Indians, for the Second Year in a row, have traded their ace.

The Indians traded Cliff Lee and outfielder Ben Francisco to the Philladelphia Phillies in exchange for pitcher Jason Knapp, pitcher Carlos Corrasco, shortstop Jason Donald, and catcher Lou Marson.

For two years straight, the Indians trade their ace. The Phillies didn't even get have to give up their premier pitching prospects like Kyle Drabek, who was being asked by the Blue Jays to get Roy Halladay.

The Phillies now have a rotation with Four Left Handers!

This is a steal for the Phillies as they are gearing up for another World Series run.
