Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Brewers - Traded Lee, Acquired Bell
Milwaukee Brewers - Traded OF Carlos Lee and OF Nelson Cruz to the Texas Rangers for OF Kevin Mench, P Francisco Cordero, and OF Laynce Nix; acquired IF David Bell from the Philadelphia Phillies for P Wilfredo Laureano.
Bell’s actually playing well again this season and while he’s a free agent, the Brewers have had a lot of infield injuries and Bell will be really useful at 3rd. No complaints there.
My complaining is based on the Lee trade. Lee’s one of the best bats available at the trade deadline and all the Brewers could get is a 4th outfielder, a soon-to-be free agent pitcher that’s fallen out of favor, and a centerfield non-entity? Blecch. By the same coin, this is a pretty nice trade for the Rangers as they get an impact bat in a very close pennant race and don’t give up anything they’ll ever miss.

1. Walt Davis Posted: July 29, 2006 at 10:34 PM (#2117349)There's reportedly another Cordero prospect going to the Brewers in this trade though, in the other threads, nobody seems to think much of him.
that a free market auction will over-appraise
