Cordero, Mench for Lee trade

External Since: Jun 12, 2007 Posts: 8

AL only league. One team has Cordero, another team has Mench. Who has the
bigger claim on Lee? Was their a "key" to the MLB trade? Was it Cordero or
Mench? If you were to put a percentage on their values would you say Mench
50%, Cordero 50%? 60%, 40%? Other? Thanks for any input.

We do have rules on this situation. The two teams involved get to negotiate
who gets Lee and what compensation will go from the team that gets Lee to
the team that doesn't. In the event that the two teams can't come to an
agreement, our commissioner will make the decision for them with appropriate
compensation to the one that doesnt get Lee. Obviously the relative value
of Mench and Cordero is the driving factor that will dictate which team gets
Lee and what compensation should be awarded.

The point of my posting was to get a feeling for what this group thinks is
the relative worth of Mench vs Cordero in the MLB trade as viewed by the
Brewers.
