The Milwaukee Brewers are trading slugger Carlos Lee to the Texas Rangers as part of a multi-player deal, ESPN.com learned Friday.
The Brewers are sending Lee, minor-league outfield prospect Nelson Cruz and a player to be named later to the Rangers for relief pitcher Francisco Cordero and outfielders Kevin Mench and Laynce Nix. Both teams are checking for any medical issues before consummating the deal.

$$$$$

Getting something for a player who was just going to walk away from the Brewers at the end of the season anyways.

 

[AmerikazMost]

^ Yeah, but I don't see a hell of a lot of potential in these guys. Figured they could've gotten a prospect or two for Lee.

 

[Butt Rubber]

they need Cordero to setup for Turnbow, and Mench is alot cheaper granted he sucks

^^Yes, they offered him $48 Mil for 4 years, and he said no. They had to get something.
