Executive Believes Phillies Should Let Cliff Lee Go On Waivers

Aug 03, 2012 3:14 PM EST

An American League executive believes the Phillies should considering letting Cliff Lee go if he is claimed on waivers by the Friday afternoon deadline.

There is about $95 million remaining on the left-hander's contract, which runs through 2015. Letting Lee go on waivers would give Philadelphia nothing in return.

"I think they should (let him go)," said another A.L. exec. "But I think that might be a tough sell in that market, so I don't know."
