For the last few days, we have heard that a ‘Mystery Team’ has entered the Cliff Lee sweepstakes. That suitor appears to be none other than the Philadelphia Phillies. Lee was a member of the Phillies during the second half of the 2009 season, pitching the team to their second consecutive World Series appearance. Lee was exceptionally good in the playoffs that year, going 4-0 with 1.56 ERA in five starts. After Lee’s impressive post-season run and knowing that they wouldn’t be able to afford him long-term, the Phillies shipped him to the Seattle Mariners as one of the key components in the three-team deal that sent Roy Halladay to Philly. With the Yankees and Rangers publicly stating their desire to land the 32-year-old left-hander, what are the Phillies chances of bringing him back to Philly?

The first major free agent domino fell on Sunday afternoon as Jayson Werth and the Washington Nationals (?) agreed to a seven-year, $126 million contract ($18 million per season). Mr. Werth has never driven in 100 RBIs nor hit over .300 during his career. In fact, he has only topped 30 HRs once (2009). But hey, the dude got paid. Can’t be mad at him. However, the rest of baseball can basically thank the Washington Nationals for inflating the 2010-2011 free agent market. It’s time to watch Carl Crawford and Cliff Lee get PAID.
$126 Million For the Wolfman? Really?
This week, we are going to focus on the one situation to seemingly has a new rumor everyday, Darrelle Revis’s contract dispute with the New York Jets.

So, how have contract talks progressed so far?
Haven't seen much of this...
The trade deadline has passed. The Yankees made some very good moves while the Mets did nothing. Nothing. In a city where the media will eat you alive, the Mets did nothing.
