"A dozen Derrek Lee jerseys were neatly folded and stacked up next to his locker Wednesday morning, but the Cubs first baseman was nowhere to be seen.

Lee declined to speak to the media concerning a Tribune report that a trade to Atlanta was in the works. He didn't come out to the field and was receiving treatment on his lower back.

But the deal is done, with the Cubs announcing after their 5-1 loss to the Padres that they had sent Lee and cash to the Braves for three pitching prospects: right-hander Robinson Lopez and left-handers Tyrelle Harrus and Jeffrey Lorick."
