| 6th November, 2009 - 3:31 pm | MLB.com - The Phillies announced their first big move of the offseason on Friday when they picked up left-hander Cliff Lee's $9 million club option.
Lee went 7-4 with a 3.39 ERA in 12 regular-season starts for the Phillies, who acquired him and outfielder Ben Francisco on July 29 from the Cleveland Indians for prospects Jason Knapp, Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald and Lou Marson. Lee also went 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in five postseason starts as he led the Phillies to the World Series.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the team had spoken with Lee's agent a couple times during the postseason, and said it would consider thinking about a contract extension for Lee.
"That said, we have some time on that," Amaro said. [READ] |
