Reports: Philadelphia lands Lee, sends four prospects to Cleveland.
Well, it looks like the Philadelphia Phillies might officially be crossed off the list of teams allegedly involved in deals for Toronto ace Roy Halladay.
Because they may have just landed a big one.
According to multiple reports, Cleveland Indian’s lefty Cliff Lee was dealt to Philadelphia today, along with outfielder Ben Francisco, for a prospect-laden package that includes #2 prospect RHP Carlos Carrasco, #3 prospect C Lou Marson, #4 prospect SS Jason Donald, and #10 prospect RHP Jason Knapp.
If the deal goes through, Lee would be under Philly control for the rest of the season with a $9 million club option for 2010.
The deal is supposedly resting on the health of Jason Knapp.
