<p><a href="http://www.arkansassports360.com/20864/cliff-lee-nolan-ryan-meet-in-little-rock" target="_blank">ArkansasSports360.com</a> passes along a source who says they saw <span>Cliff Lee</span> and Nolan Ryan meeting at the Copper Grill in Lee's home base in Little Rock, Arkansas. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pinstripealley.com/">Yankees</a> GM Brian Cashman made a similar trip last week to recruit Lee, who New York Post columnist <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_sports/hardball_handicaps_free_agency_trade_xzzY921VVVBc1YoT6s1IfK" target="_blank">Joel Sherman</a> recently called "even more of a last-dollar mercenary" than <span>Mark Teixeira</span>.</p>
<p><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=5813211" target="_blank">ESPN New York</a> on Lee's asking price:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Lee is believed to be asking teams for a contract that is similar to CC Sabathia's seven-year, $161 million pact with the Yankees.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.federalbaseball.com/">Washington Nationals</a> are among the additional teams who have publicly stated an interest in Lee.</p>
<p>Lee paid off for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Rangers</a> in the divisional and league playoff rounds, throwing 24 innings in three starts and allowing just two runs. He was much more ordinary in the World Series against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/">Giants</a>, totaling 11.2 innings in his two starts and allowing nine earned runs. </p>
