Phillies Rumors: Is Cliff Lee on the Trading Block?

Updated 12/6/12 12:45pm ET

After a miserable 2012 season the Phillies are desperate to make some roster changes to rejuvenate this Phillies squad. Given that B.J. Upton and Shane Victorino are both off the market, Michael Bourn will probably sign elsewhere and Nick Swisher is demanding an absurd amount of money, it seems as though the Phillies are running out of options.

The most likely roster shakeup to come is a trade involving Cliff Lee. In most recent rumors Lee has been directly linked to the Diamondbacks where we would be traded for Justin Upton and some cash.

If the Phillies could land Upton this would be a huge addition to their roster.

Yes, trading away their ace pitcher is a risky move but Upton brings great offensive and defensive strength that the Phillies so dearly need. This would be a smart move by the management and one that would greatly bolster the Phillies lineup.
