Carlos Lee was involved in the biggest blockbuster deal of the summer. Danys Baez was traded to the Atlanta Braves. Both of these moves were great moves. The Milwaukee Brewers added yet another setup man in Francisco Cordero, he might even close if Turnbow continues his struggles and a new left fielder in Kevin Mench. The Braves added a utility infielder in Willy Aybar and a setup man in Baez for only Wilson Betemit. This is good news for the Braves, great news for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves finally have a guy to pitch the eigth and get the ball to new closer Bob Wickman. The great upside for the Dodgers is, they have a future third baseman in Betemit and they can move Cesar Izturis to second base.
     The Texas Rangers have enough money to retain Lee, if they so choose. With the newly aquired outfiled prospect Nelson Cruz, they could devide to let Lee walk and save some money. No matter what happens, the Rangers added a huge bat for the middle of the struggling order and they didn't trade any of their prospects for Lee. Why is that good? They can now go out and maybe add a starting pitcher. Say, Livan Hernandez? No matter who they want, they can more than likely add a starting pitcher.
