CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee has told the organization he prefers to remain a Cub rather than accept a trade, general manager Jim Hendry told ESPNChicago.com on Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Angels proposed a trade to the Cubs over the past 10 days for Lee, according to a major league source. But Lee turned down the deal as is his right because he has been in the league for 10 years and five with the same team. He then told the team he wants to play out the last year of his Cubs contract, Hendry said. The 34-year-old also has a no-trade clause.
