Around the Beat: Talking Tribe and O’s with Cleveland’s Hoynes

Lefty pitching prospect Chris Lee joins ‘Minor League Podcast’
One year ago today, the Orioles announced they had dealt two international bonus slots to the Houston Astros for a Low-A left-hander named Chris Lee. I don’t think anyone thought much of the deal at the time. Since then, Lee has posted a 2.91 ERA over 151 2/3 innings between High-A Frederick and Double-A...
