Mets and Twins frontrunners for Cliff Lee? Cliff Lee - S - SEA - Jun. 24Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times reports that the Mets and Twins appear to be the favorites to trade for left-hander Cliff Lee.The Twins have been seen as the favorites to land Lee, especially because they have top-catching prospect Wilson Ramos. The top catcher in the Mets' system is Josh Thole, however he isn't highly-regarded as a prospect. But don't count the Mets out just yet. Baker cites rumors that "the Mets might offer top pitching prospect Jenrry Mejia and current major league outfielder Angel Pagan." The Mets probably won't do that deal, of course, primarily because they'd like to keep him as an insurance policy for Carlos Beltran. In any case, July should be a lot of fun.
