"The Phillies have reached agreement with the Indians on a trade that would bring them left-hander Cliff Lee and outfielder Ben Francisco for Class A right-hander Jason Knapp, Class AAA right-hander Carlos Carrasco, shortstop Jason Donald and catcher Lou Marson, according to major-league sources." :shock:

So Carrasco was pulled 3 hours ago from his start and there is apparently a deal in place. So why haven't we heard an official announcement? I think we are still in play for Halladay.

Cash back from Cleveland? I guess Rube is using the Discover card.

It's pending review of medical records (esp. Knapp, I'd guess).
