Phillies also get the salary difference between Halladay and Lee as well. Essentially Philly trade Drabek, Taylor, d'Arnaud, Cliff Lee signed for one season for Roy Halladay signed for 3 more years past this coming season, Phillippe Aumont, Tyson Gillies and an unnamed player. Looks like a good move for the Phillies.
I guess we'll have to see how the three prospects work out for Toronto. Essentially they paid 6 million to get 2 more established prospects and a 3rd guy over the two picks they would have received in compensation for Halladay.
Mariners gamble that Cliff Lee will be a good guy to go with Hernandez in their rotation as they try to take down the Angels.
