Carlos Lee went 2-for-3 and drove home the Marlins lone run in Thursday's loss to the Braves. While Lee has already been traded once this season, and could very easily be moved again in a waiver deal, he's quietly having a fairly productive season. He's now hitting .290 with six homers and 43 RBI , including an even .300 average in 24 games with the Marlins.

Carlos Lee went 2-for-3 with an RBI, run scored and walk in Wednesday's win over the Braves. Lee now has reached base at least twice in five of his past six games. The RBI was his 13th in 23 games as a Marlin, while he's now hitting .287/.351/.397. Despite the continued evaporation of El Caballo's power, he's unlikely to pass through unclaimed if he's placed on waivers.

According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, Carlos Lee rejected a deadline trade to the Yankees. So the Bombers got Casey McGehee from the Pirates instead. Lee probably would have been a better option, but he has a no-trade clause and would not waive it. The Marlins acquired the 36-year-old earlier this month from the Astros.

Carlos Lee went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Nationals. Lee's RBI single off Gio Gonzalez in the fourth inning was his first RBI in six games as a Marlin. He has already picked up two stolen bases in Ozzie Guillen's aggressive system there, after attempting zero steals in 66 games with the Astros. There's some fantasy value left in the veteran.

Carlos Lee went 2-for-4 and scored a run in his Marlins debut on Thursday. One of his hits was a double, giving him five of those in his last seven games. However, he hasn't driven in a run since June 25.

Carlos Lee is batting third and playing first base Thursday afternoon in his Marlins debut. Lee was acquired from the Astros on Wednesday for third baseman Matt Dominguez and left-hander Rob Rasmussen. The 36-year-old is expected to serve as Miami's starting first baseman going forward, and will try to improve on the .287/.336/.411 batting line that he registered in 66 games this season with Houston.

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that first baseman Carlos Lee has been traded to the Marlins for third baseman Matt Dominguez and left-hander Rob Rasmussen. Lee has already left his Astros teammates back in Pittsburgh and should be available for use in the Marlins' series-finale against the Brewers on Thursday afternoon in Milwaukee. The 36-year-old was hitting .287/.336/.411 with five homers and 29 RBI through 66 games this season for Houston. Miami will hope for better.

According to ESPN's Buster Olney, Astros first baseman Carlos Lee has agreed to go to the Marlins. Lee's locker was cleaned out by the end of the Astros' game Wednesday game against the Pirates, and it appears that he is on his way to Miami. The 36-year-old has struggled at the plate this season, batting just .287 with a .747 OPS in 66 games for Houston, but perhaps he'll find new life with the Fish. The Astros will cover most of what remains on his $18.5 million salary for 2012.

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that the Marlins are "deep into talks" for Astros slugger Carlos Lee. Olney says Lee has "indicated a willingness to play for Miami," which makes things easier on all parties involved. The veteran first baseman was nearly dealt to the Dodgers earlier this week but didn't want to go out west and was able to use his no-trade clause to keep that trade from being completed. Lee, 36, is batting .287/.336/.411 with five home runs and 29 RBI in 66 games this season for Houston.

The Dodgers have pulled out of a proposed trade for Carlos Lee. This announcement is basically a semantics game, as Lee wasn't going to accept a trade to Los Angeles anyway. Perhaps the veteran will change his mind and accept a trade later this month, but right now Lee prefers to stay close to his ranch in Texas rather than join a contender. The proposed swap had the Dodgers swallowing all of Lee's remaining salary this season and shipping minor league right-hander Garrett Gould to Houston.
