ESPN's Pedro Gomez is reporting the Phillies and Diamondbacks are discussing a trade which would send Pitcher Cliff Lee (and cash) to the Diamondbacks for OF Justin Upton. This trade would be a dream come true for Phillies fans, but we'll wait until we see how serious this deal is to get excited.
UPDATE: Local Diamondbacks writer Nick Piecoro says reports of a discussed trade are "off base".
