Lee to Rangers
"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."
Interesting side note: according to Baseball Prospectus, Kevin Mench's most comparable player is Carlos Lee.
I wonder how often a player has been traded for the player most similar to him?
