CASH'S CORNER: LEE TRACKER

• 12-13-2010: Darek Braunecker, the agent for Cliff Lee, has been in touch with the Yankees today and said the process is on-going; stay tuned.

• 11-24-2010: Maybe it didn't happen. I just checked out Bronx Baseball Daily which says that the Yankees never made an offer to Cliff Lee AT ALL? "Two separate major-league officials told the Daily News that such an offer had not been made, with one of the officials adding that the Yankees had not made any official offers to Lee at all." Me personally? I dont believe it, an offer was made, what it is is anybody's guess at this point. But great work BBD.
  

• 11-23-2010: Zell 's Pinstripe Blog have this nugget- “Yahoo! Sports, citing an industry source, reports the Yankees have offered free-agent SP Cliff Lee a six-year, $140 million contract but that Lee is holding out for a seventh year. Neither side would confirm the numbers to Yahoo!’s Tim Brown. The $23.3 million average cited in Brown’s report is slightly higher than the $23 million per season that the Yankees gave SP CC Sabathia in the 2008 offseason (in a seven-year agreement), and the $22.9 million that the Mets gave SP Johan Santana in 2008 (in a six-year pact). Many people expect Lee to eventually sign with the Yankees, but the Rangers have signaled they will try to keep Lee and match the Yankees’ offers.”
• 11-22-2010: According multiple sources, the New York Yankees are offering Lee a deal worth between $115 million and $120 million for five seasons of work. That means he would be making about $23 million or $24 million annually. The Yankees already have a hurler making about $23 million a season in the form of C.C. Sabathia.


• 11-21-2010: According to MLB Trade Rumors, The Yankees are willing to offer Lee $115 million over 5 years.
