Just 24 hours ago, it seemed that the Twins, Reds, and Rangers were the top three teams in the chase for Seattle left-hander Cliff Lee.
Now, on Friday morning, it looks like the New York Yankees have jumped full force into the chase and are the heavy favorites to land him, according to several sources including Joel Sherman of the New York Post and Jon Heyman of SI.com.
Yesterday, Buster Olney said the Yankees could get involved if they wanted to, but it looked unlikely that they were going to make any kind of push at all.
Here’s a breakdown on where talks are now with each team that is still in the race and until a deal is announced, each of these teams is still in the hunt.
