Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told MLB Network on Tuesday that there is "very little chance" that Philadelphia will trade Cliff Lee before Wednesday's non-waiver trade deadline. Lee, a former Cy Young Award winner, has drawn interest from multiple teams and recently had been rumored to be available in a trade. The Phillies entered Tuesday's contest mired in an eight-game losing streak. The Boston Red Sox were rumored to be the primary front-runner to acquire the 34-year-old Lee, although the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals also reportedly are interested in adding a starting pitcher.
