Twins could make a play for Cliff Lee
Cliff Lee - S - Seattle Mariners
June 17, 2010 - 12:10 PM ET

Sources tell Tom Pelissero of ESPN Twin Cities that the Twins are considering making "a serious run" at acquiring left-hander Cliff Lee from the Mariners.

The Twins would likely have to give up two premium prospects for what would essentially be a rental, something that would be highly-uncharacteristic for the franchise. Still, any general manager of a contending team should be doing their due diligence in regards a possible acquisition of Lee. Ultimately, we'd be surprised if the team would be willing to surrender a top prospect like Wilson Ramos. A more aggressive team is likely to come knocking.
