Cliff Lee “Wanted” posters have already begun to be printed up by just about every Major League team there is. Well, at least those that will be able to afford him.
Now that the World Series has come to an end, it’s time for front offices around baseball to saddle back up and look at their roster to see what they can change and what they will need going into the stretch of offseason that will lead into spring training in February.
We all know there’s been talk about the New York Yankees being the favorite to land the left-hander, but the statements Lee made at the end of the World Series seems to point in the direction of the Texas Rangers.
There’s no question team owner Nolan Ryan and general manager Jon Daniels will do everything in their power to bring him back. But, make no mistake about it, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman will pony up as much money as he can to lure Lee to the Bronx.
While the Rangers and Yankees will battle for his services, don’t count out several other teams around baseball from coming out of nowhere and offering a tempting package.
Here are the odds for every team in the MLB on being able to sign Cliff Lee.
