Carlos Lee Refuses Trade to Dodgers, Traded to the Marlins

[Warner2BruceTD]

I believe he is a 10/5 player, so there goes that.

He waived his future 10/5 rights in exchange for a limited no trade cause at the start of his contract. He has no 10/5 protection, only his limited no trade to whatever teams are on the list.

Florida isn't even in the top 25. Nice of ESPN to produce made up shit like this.

Florida is 3rd biggest east of the Mississippi and 10th in the nation. At one point Florida was actually the biggest cattle producing state IIRC.

Unless they are converting him to a reliever, I have no idea.

Lee's power is gone, but he's a much better offensive player than Sanchez, who has been a black hole and has spent time in AAA.

The Brett Wallace era v2.0 is back in full effect in H-town.

Yes, Lee is empirically a better player than Gaby Sanchez. I still don't get the impetus to make a move for a team that currently has a 1% probability of making the playoffs.

4.76/0.9

 

Marlins bullpen ERA and WAR

 

2nd worst ERA and 21st WAR

 

I don't think Carlos Lee will help with that
