I'm finding it very easy to root against the Phillies. Now more than ever.

That's more of a NYY reaction IMO. He was their number 1 target and they failed to sign him. How often is it that NY does NOT get the player they want, when they make an offer? I think Texas will be okay. They have a great farm system, and as great as Lee was for them, he was there for 3 months. NY on the other hand is an aging team with a very small window to get to and win another world series, with this current roster. Should be an exciting MLB season. The most talented team on paper does not always get to or even win the world series...

I hope Ruben Amaro calls Brian Cashman and asks him what he thinks about a Joe Blanton trade.

Keith Law:

The Lee signing leaves two other teams holding bags of money with holes in their rotations.

The Yankees and Rangers are left looking for Plan B's that probably don't exist. The Rangers don't line up well for a Zack Greinke deal, and the Yankees line up for one only if the Royals think any of those Yankees catching prospects can actually catch. Carl Pavanois the best remaining free-agent starter but not a great substitute forLee in Texas, and I feel fairly confident the Yankees won't be makinghim an offer. If the Blue Jays had held Shaun Marcum another week, could they have gotten more from either of these clubs than they got from Milwaukee? What if the Dodgers put Chad Billingsley on the market? If you're Florida, don't you at least entertain offers on Josh Johnson?Oddly, there's no team well-positioned to take advantage of either theYankees' or Rangers' desperation here, nor is there a free agent readyto be overpaid because one of those clubs had money budgeted for Leeand decides to spend it elsewhere.

There's an opportunityhere for a GM with a pitcher he's willing to move and the fearlessnessto move him when no one expects it.

Nothing better than when the Yanks don't get what they want.
