Lee traded to Texas:
Having come to the conclusion that they wouldn't be able to re-sign leftfielder Carlos Lee and with the playoffs a faint hope at present, the Milwaukee Brewers pulled the trigger Friday and sent Lee to the Texas Rangers in a six-player deal.
The Brewers dealt Lee and minor league outfielder Nelson Cruz to the Rangers in exchange for outfielders Kevin Mench and Laynce Nix, reliever Francisco Cordero and minor-league pitcher Julian Cordero.
On the e-mail sent out by the Brewers, look how they described Cordero:
The Milwaukee Brewers made a bold move on Friday, trading free-agent-to-be Carlos Lee and minor-league outfielder Nelson Cruz to the Texas Rangers in exchange for outfielderKevin Mench, closer Francisco Cordero,center fielder Laynce Nix and Minor League left-hander Julian Cordero.
That is a role he has filled, but not recently. Akinori Otsuka has 21 saves for the Rangers this season. Cordero has 6. Where do you think that F. Cordero will fit into the Brewer bullpen?
