It's unclear whether he would make that start or whether the deal can be completed in time for the Mariners to pull him.If it goes through, the trade would make the Yankees the overwhelming favorite to repeat as World Series champions. Lee has been one.Who has the most talent to move? Likely the Rangers, but that team is in bankruptcy, and even taking on an extra $4 million for this year, with no chance of signing Lee in the winter, seems unlikely. Next could be the Twins, who have the prospects, and the money from playing their first season in Target Field – and the desire, having reached the playoffs five times in the last eight years, only to lose in the first round. They had to start Brian Dueusing in their playoff opener last year.

Clifton Phifer "Cliff" Lee is a Major League Baseball left handed starting pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. Lee's repertoire features a four-seam fastball, two-seam fastball, a cut fastball as well as a circle changeup and a curveball. Lee won the American League Cy Young Award in 2008.

Jocketty told the Cincinnati Enquirer, “If there’s a way to improve our club, we’ll do it.”Not only would Lee improve the Reds, he might make them the favorite to win the NL Central, and perhaps the pennant and World Series.
