09:23 AM ET 06.30 | The Dodgers, trying to add a big bat, are in serious discussions with the Astros about a trade for first baseman Carlos Lee, according to major-league sources. Lee, 36, would need to approve the trade -- the Dodgers are one of 14 teams that cannot acquire him without his permission, according to sources with knowledge of his contract. The name of Dodgers minor league right-hander Garrett Gould has surfaced in conversations between the clubs, one major-league source said.

Only scored 14 runs on that 9 game road trip. 4 times shut out. 2 times scoring only 1. Their offense is a mess.

Lee would be dumb not to accept the trade if he wants a chance to win this year.

What soxfan says on other threads and I quote "My parents aren't blood related like yours, so no mistake made." It wasn't to me but just so you know.

Carlos Lee is not the most desperate thing they could do... He's one of those guys that'll hit until cows come home...

Saw Van Slyke for the first time yesterday and I'm thinking he could use some more seasoning :-)

Actually, staying with the Astros would give him the opportunity to hit in the DH spot next year. He's no spring chicken.
