CLE-PHI

[Deleted]

Cleveland Indians Trade:
Yan Gomes (0.5 M -- Pre-Arb 2015)
Jose Ramirez (Prospect)
CC Lee (Prospect)
Tyler Naquin (Prospect)

Philadelphia Phillies Trade:
Cliff Lee (25.83 M -- 2015+)

Indians--
+ 25.33 M

Phillies--
-25.33 M

In this trade I get a front of the line starter, albeit on a bad team and a bad contract for this league. However, I feel like I didn't have to give up much for him and that all my moves freeing up cap space have allowed me to get Cliff Lee. Sure, he's 34 and he has two more years on this contract, but I'm not worried about age or the money. Cliff Lee gives me a great chance to win more categories next year, and losing some more prospects doesn't worry me that much.

 EDIT: WOOOOOOOOO CLIFF LEE RETURN TO CLEVELAND!!!

I accept, I need to get under cap and I get some good prospects back. Yan Gomes hopefully will have a full time job behind the dish next year and will fill in for my catcher nicely

Not a fan of the return for Philly, but what can you really expect to get back when you are trading a 34 year old pitcher who has a 25M per year contract? Gomes could be a keeper if he can produce in a full time catching roll with CLE, the prospects are just so-so at best.

Approve.

Yeah that contract is straight nasty I like Gomes' bat and Indians been looking for a reason to move santana over to first it seems, but Cliff Lee is obv a good pitcher so both sides get what they need, Pass
