Braves close to acquiring Derrek Lee?
Down the stretch run, the Philadelphia Phillies acquired Roy Oswalt to help them get back in the race for the NL East title. Combine that with getting Chase Utley and Ryan Howard back, and the Atlanta Braves losing Chipper Jones, and it looked like the division was theirs for the taking.
But not so fast. David Kaplan of CSNChicago.com has learned that the Braves are close to acquiring Derrek Lee from the Chicago Cubs. As a 10-5 guy – 10 years of service and the last five with the same team – Lee has a right to refuse any trade. But Kaplan is hearing from Lee’s camp that he would approve a trade to the Braves because they have a chance to win the division and make a World Series run.
We don’t know what exactly the Cubs would get in return, but Kaplan doesn’t think they’ll get much. Lee has a sore back and has had a down 2010. Basically, they’d be getting Lee’s contract off the books.
Stay tuned on this one.
