The Indians have traded reigning AL Cy Young winner Cliff Lee to the Phillies along with outfielder Ben Francisco. In return the Indians will receive four prospects, Single A pitcher Jason Knapp, AAA pitcher Carlos Carrasco, Catcher Lou Marson and short stop Jason Donald.
So what you may be asking is why Lee instead of Halladay? The main reason is the fact that the Phillies did not have to give up either of their best pitching prospects in Kyle Drabek and J.A. Happ.
As previously stated by me, this acquisition has to put the Red Sox in the lead to acquire Halladay assuming the Blue Jays do deal him.
