Will Cliff Lee get a chance to wear a Phillies jersey again?

However, the team views the acquisition of Lee “a longshot” and perhaps unrealistic since the Mariners will want a lot in return. The Mariners will likely want the Phillies top prospect – outfielder Domonic Brown.

Rosenthal suggests the Phillies could include a third team in a trade, and possibly package right fielder Jayson Werth since he’s a free agent after the season. Another player that could be dealt is left-handed pitcher J.A. Happ.

Before they get to Lee, the team will need to fill its infield needs. Rosenthal says the Phillies are expected to move quickly to acquire help. They have their eyes set on Baltimore Orioles Miguel Tejada and Ty Wigginton, among others. the Phillies are in desperate need for infield help due to the injuries to Chase Utley and Placido Polanco.
