Yankees get Lee

[Soxfan#1]

Keep in mind that they HAVE gotten trade rumors wrong on this station before for us. They said Ben Sheets was going to the Red Sox a couple years ago.

But according to them, Carlos Lee has been traded to the Yankees for Melky Cabrera, Chien-Ming Wang and Philip Hughes.
-ESPN Radio Milwaukee.

[schillingouttheks]

If this is true, I applaud the Milwaukee Brewers. How could George trade away Wang, his number 2 starter under Mussina who has been pitching pretty well this year, AND Hughes?

I'm excited.

[riverside sluggers]

haha they might have more bark, but no bite. Wang has been stellar for them this season and Hughes has been projected to be an ace of any staff.

If said is true, Brewers GM I applaud you 1000 times over for swindling this off.

If the Yankees made that trade they would be fools

[Soxfan#1]

If the Yankees made that trade they would be fools
Then it must be true! ;)

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

[CalvnHobs6]

Please, please, please, let this be true. Carlos Lee is a good ballplayer, but oh my goodness I hope the Yanks just traded their pride and joy and part of a thin pitching staff for this.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Then it must be true! ;)

:lol:

[Rdsxmbnt]

where did u here someone heard this from anyway?

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

This doesn't sound right. I don't see the Yankees making that big of a miscalculation. Its mostly Wang that confuses me. I could see the other guys but the Yanks are already short on pitching like us....Could Carlos Lee possibly be responsible for more wins than Wang??....no way

[BoSox34]

I doubt this is true, I don't see it on ESPN or CBS Sportsline and it just sounds made up. Why would the Yankees do this trade? SoxFan1, do you listen to ESPN Radio Milwaukee or did you hear a rumor that they said it on there?

[Optimist]

Darn, that didn't work.

So..........

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

[Optimist]

It looks like this isn't true (thank god.) I haven't heard this anywhere yet and the media would not remain silent on this kind of trade, even if it was just a rumor.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

ROFL @ That trade rumor.

[Soxfan#1]

Don't blame me. i just read it on DHB but the radio took down the rumor.

[schillingouttheks]

If it was a rumor, then you should have put it in "Rumor Mill." Which it was. Also, you made it sound like it was a done deal in the thread title. It obviously wasn't.

[BoSox34]

Note the title, "Yankees Get Lee".

[schillingouttheks]

Exactly.

[yankeessuck013]

:lol:

[Jon_Papelboner]

Uh, no. This is wrong.

Wang and hughes are "untouchables."

[Jon_Papelboner]

Seriously, I don't know how anybody could believe this is true. Why don't we throw in Cano and Jeter while we're at it. lol

[26 to 6]

I would be waiting outside the Yankee Stadium press gate tomorrow morning awaiting the arrival of Brian Cashman with all sorts of unusual weapons if this were true. Especially for a guy as overrated (in my opinion) as Carlos Lee.

[ARod2212]

Hahahahaha, that was a retarded rumor.

ORTIZ AND MANNEY FOR CROSBY AND PROSPEKT!! THEY CANT REFUZE!

[Soxfan#1]

It wasnt a rumor. ESPN Radio MilWaukee reported it as a done deal. I told you to keep in mind that they've been wrong before.

[BoSox34]

Were you listening to ESPN Milwaukee or was it a rumor on a website that it was said on ESPN Milwaukee?

[26 to 6]

I doubt he was listening to ESPN Radio Milwaukee. When you have WEEI to listen to what the hell would possess somebody to go onto ESPN Milwaukee's website and listen to the live stream.

[BoSox34]

Exactly, that's what I was implying, that is why it's a rumor.

[Beckett95]

i actually LOVE this deal, if true. Any trade getting Hughes and Wang out of the yankees system is huge.

[Moose]

No surprise it was from ESPN Milwaukee.

Hahahahaha, that was a retarded rumor.

:angry: :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

womak n brown 4 sturtze?

[Soxfan#1]

I got a report from someone that lives in Milwaukee.

[Mr Crunchy]

no way man
this didnt happen
cashman,albeit a whippin boy for steinberger,wouldnt pull the trigger
if it were hughes and melky perhaps
but noway the deal went down with kato included

[Coco's Disciples]

Yeah this didn't happen, but if it did, sweet. Wang is your 2nd best starter now, and Hughes will be your best, Cabrera seems like a guy who could produce well for years, not at an AS clip, but a Yankee kind of player.
