Yesterday, the Philadelphia Phillies announced, they were not going to pick up the $27.5 million 2016 option on starter Cliff Lee. As Ryan Lawrence from the Daily News wrote, it is “the least shocking news of the still-early Phillies offseason.” I’m fairly certain, outside of the Phillies fanbase, that there are baseball fans who forgot the team was still paying Lee to not pitch. The move releases the last of “The Four Aces” from the 2011 team.
