Around The Bases: Hot Stove Edition
#1
After a fairly quiet first few days of Winter Meetings, the annual Hot Stove really heated up yesterday with a huge flurry of activity involving several teams and many marquee players.

In a blockbuster trade, the Philadelphia Phillies traded last season’s trade deadline acquisition Cliff Lee to the Seattle Mariners, who will send a couple of major prospects to the Phillies, who will take those prospects, along with one of their top prospects and send them in a package deal back to the Blue Jays, who will then send superstar pitcher Roy Halladay to the Phillies. There are some small details to still be worked out, but at the moment it’s being called a done deal.

Last season, the trade deadline pickup of Lee by the Phillies was what they needed to keep them on top of the NL East and ultimately gave them the boost they needed to win the NL Pennant. He almost immediately supplanted Cole Hammels as Philadelphia’s ace as he went 7-4 in 12 starts with a 3.39 ERA, and then went 4-0 with a 1.56 mark in five postseason starts, including 2-0 in the World Series.
