Teams looking for a bat at the trade deadline could be calling the Astros for Carlos Lee.
Through all of the changes that the Houston Astros roster has undergone over the past few seasons the one constant has been Carlos Lee.
If teams are looking for a power bat, Lee could be at the top of their list, but a trade decision could lie in the outfielder's hands, according to Boston.com.
We mention him as trade bait, but to whom? With Matt Kemp missing a month, the Dodgers need power. One issue, however, is that Lee has always had West Coast teams on his no-trade list. Whether that’s changed and he now has the incentive to play for a contender, who knows? Lee has been extremely comfortable in Houston. At times, too comfortable.
Lee is a free agent at the end of the season and will turn 36 years old this month.
