Best of all if this trade happens, it won't cost Atl any of its top prospects ie Freeman, Delgado, Minor, Teheren, Aroydis. Braves would send low level prospects.

Also Glaus will most likely go on DL, and activated when rosters expand .

I saw this not long ago on Espn at a bar. i hope it happens but it also depends on what value we give up.

Troy Glaus would go to the DL? It makes sense since his body is breaking down.

^ As I said before, it would be for low level prospects and not any of our top prospects . That's a win right there itself. Also Lee has said he would waive no trade clause to go to a team in first place and he'd like to play for Bobby Cox. Lee did not waive no trade clause to go to Angels because they were 6 games back at that time .

I just looked up his contract numbers. He is a free agent at the end of the season and made $13 million this season. It looks like the talks are going positive and we'll most likely end up having Derek for the rest of the season.


4:02pm: The Braves expect to announce a deal soon, according to Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. David O'Brien of the Journal-Constitution reports (on Twitter) that a deal is imminent. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/

It's official Braves trade for Lee . Send 3 minor league pitchers. None that are top level or I have heard of .

Lee has had back issues the past weak or so, don't think Braves would have done this if concerned . This huge towards winning East and deep into playoffs.

Since you said that watch him have a career game during the series against the Cubs.
