From mlbtraderumors.com:
The Braves are close to trading for Derrek Lee, according to David Kaplan of CSNChicago.com. Lee, who vetoed a deal to the Angels last month, must approve any trade the Cubs propose. Sources close to Lee told Kaplan that the first baseman would likely approve a deal to Atlanta. Kaplan's sources say the trade would be a salary dump and is near completion.
The Cubs owe Lee $3.4MM between now and the end of the season, when he hits free agency. The 34-year-old has a .251/.335/.416 line in 475 plate appearances and projects to be a Type B free agent this offseason.

Kaplan's sources say the trade would be a salary dump? No. Fucking. Shit. If Kaplan's sources didn't explain that, I might have thought that this was the deal that was finally going to put us over the top in 2010 and begin our amazing run towards the playoffs...
