The Brewers are sending Lee, minor league outfield prospect Nelson Cruz to the Rangers for relief pitcher Francisco Cordero and outfielders Kevin Mench and Laynce Nix.
Lee was the Brewers’ team leader with 28 home runs and 81 RBI.
Cordero started the season as the Rangers’ closer, but was replaced by Akinori Otsuka in late April after blowing three saves.
