In a rather unsurprising move, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports that the Phillies have picked up their team option on pitcher Cliff Lee.
After coming over from Cleveland in a midseason trade, Lee established himself as the Phillies' best starter, with a 3.39 ERA. While Lee struggled over the season's last month, he reverted to form during the playoffs, posting a 1.56 ERA during the postseason.
Elsewhere on the Phillies, they have reportedly denied the $5 million option on third baseman Pedro Feliz, who will now become a free agent.
