With Spring Training starting up across the country, it appears as though
former Cleveland Indians’ ace and Cy Young winner Cliff Lee’s career in the
MLB is over. His agent, Darek Braunecker told FoxSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal
that Lee, the 140-game winning left-hander, is set to retire.
In December, MLB Network’s Jon Heyman speculated that Lee was looking for a
one-year deal with a winning team. Whether it was the fact that no such team
was willing to sign the lefty or he just decided to hang it up, the former
Indians’ days in baseball appear to have ended.
If you forgot, Lee was traded to Philadelphia in 2009, along with outfielder
Ben Francisco, for four minor league prospects. The trade marked the second
consecutive season that the Indians traded their Cy Young winner as they
traded CC Sabathia the season before.
In his 13-year career, the lefty had a 143-91 record in 328 games (324
starts), while earning himself a 3.52 ERA, 1,824 strikeouts, and 29 complete
games. With the Indians from his rookie season in 2002 until 2009, the
37-year-old owned a 4.01 ERA with 826 strikeouts and having an 83-48 record.
Although he struggled early on, Lee found his groove in 2008 when he had a
2.54 ERA and given the AL Cy Young award. In 2008, the four-time All Star led
the American League in wins, ERA, shutouts, ERA+, FIP, walks per nine innings
and home runs per nine innings during his Cy Young campaign.
The University of Arkansas graduate didn’t play in 2015. In his final season
in the MLB in 2014, Lee had a 4-5 record with a 3.65 ERA and striking out 72
opposing batters. He did not pitch in 2015 due to a shoulder injury last
March.
One of the biggest names the Indians received from the Phillies? Pitcher
Carlos Carrasco. The right-hander, who is now one of the club’s top
pitchers, was recently the sixth-best odds to win the AL Cy Young in 2016 by
one oddsmaker. Cleveland also acquired catcher Lou Marson, infiedler Jason
Donald, and pitcher Jason Knapp in the deal for the former Cy Young winner.
