They’re probably just kicking the tires and doing their due diligence, but multiple sources are reporting that at the least the Phillies have contact the agent for free agent pitcher Cliff Lee.
Sports Illustrated’s Jon Heyman lists the Phillies as one of Lee’s suitors and Ken Rosenthal has said that they checked in.
Again, I wouldn’t go getting your hopes up since it’s highly unlikely that the Phillies are going to be signing anyone to a $100+ million deal this offseason, but they’re kicking the tires.
