The wait is over. Cliff Lee has agreed to sign with the Phillies, according to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan. The deal is worth about $100MM over five years, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter). That's far less that the $150MM, seven-year deal the Yankees offered (Jon Heyman of SI.com reporting on Twitter).

Lee, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels should give the Phillies a historically good rotation and the Yankees and Rangers will have to look elsewhere for an ace. The Phillies traded Lee away a year ago this week in the deal that brought Halladay to Philadelphia.

I love it

[BroncoBlue]

OMG..... The Phillies have created a monster and I love it.
!

Might as well give them the NLCS already.

The funny thing is this comes on the same day Favre retires. Gotta love the MLB trying to up stage the NFL!

Man I gotta give props to the Phillies organization, final an NL team grows some balls and challenges the Yanks and Sox! Personally I'm a fan of the MLB first, Rockies 2nd, so I Love to amazing combinations of talent on one team.

Seriously? He signed for less. Kudos to Lee going to Philly because he liked it there, not because of the money.
