NL Central Notes: Lee, Betancourt, Melvin, Darvish

By Luke Adams | December 6, 2011 at 4:04pm CDT

Tuesday afternoon's NL Central items:

  • Carlos Lee's limited no-trade clause supersedes his ten-and-five rights, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart (on Twitter). The Astros have reportedly been telling teams they'll eat half of Lee's salary in a trade.
  • The Brewers have talked to Yuniesky Betancourt's agent about bringing the shortstop back, but haven't made an offer, tweets Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
  • In a piece for Baseball America, Haudricourt explains why Brewers GM Doug Melvin was baseball's top executive in 2011.
  • Manager Dale Sveum says the Cubs haven't talked about bidding on Yu Darvish, tweets Yahoo's Steve Henson.

    Carlos Lee at 1 yr 9 million? Doesn’t sound “too” bad.

      According to Fangraphs, Lee at first base for $9M would be about right.  Can’t imagine what the Astros expect other than payroll relief.

      As much as I like Melvin and Roenicke (I do, for the most part), I cannot believe how blind they are when watching this guy try to play baseball.

    “Brewers interested in Betancourt” followed by “Melvin is GM of the year.” What?
