Trade's been made.

Carlos Lee to the Rangers for Mench, Nix, and Francisco Cordero, plus a low-A pitcher.

I like this deal. The steal of this deal looks to be Laynce Nix, whose numbers in 2003-2004 look very similar to Bill Hall's.

Mench is not bad, either. He's looking like a solid OF, and could be flipped for something else by Monday's trade deadline.

Cordero bolsters the bullpen.

Not a bad return for two months of Carlos Lee.
