I've been saying since the end of June that Glaus needed to sit down for a while. I was hoping they'd call up Freddie Freeman but if they can get DLee, I won't be to upset. Hopefully they don't have to give up TOO much for him but its absolutely a move they needed to make if they can work it out.

After reading that article, I will be livid if the Braves try Glaus at third. He can barely move his feet to catch a pick off throw from the pitcher as it is. He needs to sit down, maybe be a pinch hitter or just put on the disabled list for a while. The combination of Prado/Infante/Conrad is more than capable of covering second and third, and I'm not sure how Bobby can have a lineup without Infante and Prado. Both have been on a tear lately with Omar getting his average into the .340s. Hopefully that little blurb about Glaus can just be chalked up to this being and ESPN Chicago article and them not having the full story.

The deal is official.

Chicago got 3 prospects for him.

I am hearing that Glaus will move back to 3rd.

Braves & Cubs announce 4-player trade; Derrek Lee to Atlanta for 3 prospects. Lee is now #27 & is AT WRIGLEY Friday for the Braves

Not good for the Reds. This helps the Braves and the Cards as they play Chicago 6 more times.

Glaus is headed to the DL and then will play 3rd in AAA before rejoining the team.
