That would be dumb on the Phils part since they gave up prospects just to get Lee.
You got your ace already, and you want to move him with even MORE prospects to get a 33 year old Halladay (who will want Santana money)?
I know you need a guy to lock up long term but damn. They upgraded their ace but they have been fleeced.

Exactly. It was a lateral move at best. Possibly a negative move the way Lee went out there and dominated everyone he faced in the playoffs. I mean I knowHalladay is Halladay, But I dont think giving up Lee (indirectly) was the right move to aquire him. Obviously if they dont give up Lee it is the move of theoffseason and puts them as #1 contenders. But this? IDK if it even gives them anything more than what they had.

A-Rod and Kate Hudson have reportedly called it quits.
Are we gonna be seeing the return of the old, choking A-Rod that we all know and love in the postseason next year?

I doubt it. Didn't even watch the playoffs this year. I used to be a Red Sox fan, too. It's just gross looking at payrolls of the topteams and then comparing it to the Pirates. You can't blame the Red Sox and Yankees either. They have the money and they are spending it. Gotta blame thepeople at the top.

To my understanding, it's still a three-team deal.

Yea thats how im taking the updates, unlike what fam said uptop. It seems like they just cant get the right pieces 2gether. With that said, Im pretty sure thedeal is done and there's not gonna be any backing out now that its gone this far (unlike the Lowell to the Rangers thing)

Roy said he would take a discount, Lee would not.

Why not trade Lee and a prospect to the Jays and let them play pluck a prospect?
Phillies get Roy, and since Lee is the best pitcher on the market you might get a better offer...
There are a few NL, and some AL teams that could still use Lee and could stand to give up some prospects.

everyone is hearing different things
from CSN and Zolecki, phillies beat writer:
Sources say only Phillies would receive Seattle prospects for Lee. None would be shipped to Toronto. Kyle Drabek is involved.
there are new rumors like every hour

It looks like the Cards have offered Matt Holliday an 8 year, $128 million contract.

It sure does.
The wording is $16 million a year for "at least" eight seasons, so it could get even more ridiculous.

If Holliday wants to win he should take that deal as is. Sure you would be costing yourself 5-6 in real money, but you will compete for the WS again.
I know its Albert but at most at 1B you gone give him 6-7 million more
You have got to go do an extension the day after you sign Matt though.
They got decent money off the books next season.

I though it was a recession, and don't they have to sign Pujols, seems silly.

Nah I was talking about money over the 8 years.
I think someone ... SF, Mets can offer 17 a season for Matt.
They are paying Lugo this season and hes off the books. Thats 9 Million right there. On the other hand Ludwick is prob gone get 8 in arbitration this year
Edit they arent paying Lugo.
Even if they sign Holliday they are at 80 for this season pending arbitration.
I would guess they are going to hit 100. For the next year or so.
