Cliff Lee, who was holding out hope that he would find a “perfect fit” in 2016, looks like he’s finally come to the end of the road.
Sounds like Cliff Lee’s career is over. His agent, Darek Braunecker, told me, “We don’t anticipate him playing at this point.”

It would have been tough to find the “perfect fit” for the 37-year old Lee, but there was always that chance for him to try to pitch without pain in his elbow. And now that he can’t find the right deal, he’ll likely walk away for good. Or until the trade deadline on August 1st.
Godspeed, Clifton.
