Astros trade Carlos Lee to Marlins for prospects

After a weekend of speculation that he would be headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers, slugger Carlos Lee is reportedly being traded to the Miami Marlins in exchange for two prospects.

Houston will receive Matt Dominguez, a third baseman, and pitcher Rob Rasmussen in the deal.

After declining a trade to the Dodgers, as permitted by his limited no-trade clause, Lee's permission was needed to approve the deal to Miami, ESPN reports.

Lee, 36, was pulled pulled in the seventh inning of the Astros' 6-4 loss Wednesday and his locker was cleared out afterwards. Manager Brad Mills called it a "non baseball-related" decision and added that he didn't "want to go further than that."
