The Yankees are on the verge of landing pitcher Cliff Lee according to Joel Sherman of the NY Post.
the Yankees were on the brink of obtaining Cliff Lee late last night for a package that would include top prospect Jesus Montero, the Post has learned.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman and Seattle GM Jack Zduriencik have been in constant contact over the last week, but it was only last night that the Seattle GM told Yankee officials he wanted to move quickly, possibly before the All-Star break.
The aquisition of Lee will give the Yankee’s rotation a huge boost and could make them run away with the A. L. East.
