What Team Will Cliff Lee Sign With Next Season?
by John Beattie on Oct 22, 2010 9:44:39 AM
Cliff Lee has made roughly $23 million so far in his nine-year career.
This Winter, there's a chance he'll make that in one year alone.
The 2010 postseason's most dominant ace is the free agent of the offseason. He's left-handed, he's dominant and he's basically alone, as the free agent market is thin when it comes to starting pitching.
While the likely suspects will be dabbling in the Lee pool when he officially hits the open waters, the Rangers ace may not stray far from his current Texas abode. Earlier this week, new Rangers owner Chuck Greenberg has warned the league that his front office will be aggressively pursuing the southpaw.
So bidders beware, as the big-market teams will have company in the Lone Star State.
"We're not going in it with a pea shooter," Greenberg told reporters. "We can't control what the Yankees or any other club chooses to offer. We can only control our own decisions, and we know that we are going to have to be aggressive financially; we're prepared to do that."
