Seattle Mariners stud Cliff Lee underwent a minor procedure on his foot, according to some dude on Twitter that gets press releases from the Mariners.
“Cliff Lee had successful surgery to remove a loose spur in his left foot, according to M’s release,” Ryan Divish tweets.
Lee pitched deep into the 2009 season and there were never reports of any foot issues, so this is probably a non-issue. He was a stud last year for the Phillies and will probably improve upon his 3.22 ERA in the pitcher-friendly Seattle stadium.
The Phillies, meanwhile, got the better end of the Cliff Lee trade by getting a tall Candian dude who is being groomed as a reliever and already has arm trouble.
