Monday night Cliff Lee finally made his decision for continuing his profession as a professional baseball player. Instead of switching to the Yankees like everybody though he returned to the Phillies. Lee turned down bigger deals with the Yankees and Rangers he decided it felt right right where he started. His new deal goes for a five year 120 million dollar contract guaranteed. A really big reason Cliff Lee went to the Phillies is that Roy Halladay and their pitching staff next year will be ridiculous.
In my opinion Cliff Lee is making his decision for all the right reasons. To go back to his roots and where he began his major league career is a big factor. Also being added to their pitching core will make them very hard to beat next year. This Phillies team will most likely be one of the teams to beat next season.
