WNST reports Orioles have agreement with D. Lee, all other sources say nothing imminent

[Dipper9]

I understand "per Drew" implies that this is far from a done deal, but I think the thread title should be changed to "Orioles THINK they have a deal with Derrek Lee..."

[brotherlo38]

I hope this isn't true. Zrebiec said Lee wasn't high on coming here and I don't want to overpay to bring him here.

Of course, keeping in mind who the source is here, I'm not holding my breath.

Eh, whatever. I'm sure Roch and Jeff Z. will have to respond to this rumor soon enough. One way or another we'll hear more by lunch time.

O's "THINK" they've agreed.

O's "think they've agreed" probably means tha Lee's agent is shopping that offer as hard as he can while the O's are on hold. It's the Oriole way.

My first thought was "who the hell is Dr. Lee Perdrew?"

Yep, it's Monday morning.

Or its just another WNST stunt to a) draw attention to themselves and 2) call the Orioles out for not completing a deal.

To be fair, it could be c) Drew and WNST scooped every other sports reporter in the world on an Orioles story!

The good thing about Lee is not losing the pick.

I think it means they have a decent offer on the table. I wonder if Konerko is still in the mix.? Pena.LaRocher,etc. We heard offers are out. I guess the O's are waiting for the one who gets back to them.if any.

I'd be ok with D. Lee and Reynolds as our big offseason pickups, especially if we get to keep Hernandez.

I sent the Twitter comment to Tim Dierkes. He emailed me back and said he'd check with his sources.

[PlumOriole]

Didn't "think" the title was misleading but it's been changed.

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe we have offered what he is asking and we're waiting for an response?

That's what I'm thinking as well but if its not done its probably because Lee is shopping the offer to more desireable destinations.

Per Z from the Sun:

Jeff Z's reply: Well, the Reynolds thing has been out there for a while. Wouldn't surprise me if that deal gets done this week. As for Lee, that would surprise me. I was told yesterday by someone that Lee isn't interested in playing in Baltimore at this point.
