The Cincinnati Reds are facing the Seattle Mariners and left-handed pitcher Cliff Lee today, so the team will get a first-hand look at a possible future teammate in Lee. There have been trade rumors about Lee being a trade candidate for the Reds.

Mark Sheldon of MLB.com says the Reds are contending and have a depth of prospects that they can package for Lee, so it may be a good fit.

“We haven’t discussed it,” Reds GM Walt Jocketty said of Lee. “We’ll do what we can to improve our club. We’re looking at pitching. I don’t know how many bullets we’re going to have, so we’ll have to be careful how we use them. With [Edinson] Volquez coming back and [Aroldis] Chapman — [Travis] Wood is still down there and pitching well, and [Matt] Maloney.”

Lee has been a candidate for several teams including the Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and Minnesota Twins.
