Carlos Lee dealt to the Rangers

[Merk]

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.

I think the Brew Crew made out pretty good for a guy that will be a FA at the end of the year


Plus I like the pop that Lee gives the middle of the Rangers line up

I think this will be the most active trade deadline in years.

With the deadline only 2 days away the GM of the Phillies has already lowered his demands for Abreu. That makes me think that he would like to unload Abreu's contract by the deadline. My gut feeling is there is way too much smoke surrounding Abreu for a deal not to happen.
