Yeah, I would definitely pull the trigger on that one. I have been following your threads and the developments of this trade, and this is by far the best one in your favor yet.
Who knows what Liriano is going to produce, so I wouldnt be worried about giving him up. I don't love Lee and view him as more of a 1(a) then a true ace, but you are getting Bills who I think will have a big bounce back year and Price who has a lot of upside. Plus I know you like Drew to upgrade your SS, so I would definitely do this move.
I think you could've gotten more of a return out of Felix than just that, IMO. However, if there's a silver lining, you add some nice depth to your rotation.
