How ridiculous is all this trade deadline rumor business getting? One commenter on ESPN.com seems to have a scoop no one else does about the Phils interest in Cliff Lee…

I’ve heard this is already a done deal. Waiting for the announcement shortly. And the deal does NOT favor the Tribe.

So if Lee gets traded to the Phils today make sure to give KingGeorge53 massive props! (not likely, but still fun as hell to talk about.)
On a sidenote, if you haven’t read Jayson Stark’s latest ESPN column you definitely should. Takes a terrific look at the tough situations both J.P. Ricciardi and Ruben Amaro Jr. find themselves in.
