Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports that Cliff Lee's contract with the Phillies is worth "in excess of $100 million."
According to Crasnick, he'll receive a five-year deal with an "easily reachable" vesting option for a sixth year. Whatever the final tally is, we know that he turned down more money from the Yankees and most likely the Rangers in order to get a second chance in Philadelphia.
