But Lee, it seems, could join the Yankees much sooner.The Yankees hope that Lee also been around for years. Lee, who is 32 next month, it is unlikely that a contract extension for the off-season signing. But he is a friend of Sabathia and Burnett and looked very comfortable at Yankee Stadium. And, of course, the Yankees probably overwhelming a contract offer to stay.

The Yankees and Mariners have made great progress towards a trade Lee, according to an official involved in the talks, adding that the final decision now to the Mariners. The official was granted anonymity because the agreement has not been completed. Joel Sherman of The New York Post published the story, reporting that the package the Yankees would trade Jesus Montero and outfielder David Adams.Lee receiver, the 2008 Cy Young Award for Cleveland, just below the Yankees twice in 2009 World Series when he pitched for Philadelphia, and also won the first race at the new Yankee Stadium last season. He is 8-3 with a 2.34 earned run average this season, with 89 strikeouts and only six walks.
