Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee has told the team that he won't accept a trade to another team.
Lee would prefer to remain with the team, according to Cubs general manager Jim Hendry.
The Angels proposed a trade to the Cubs over the past 10 days for Lee, according to a major league source.
However, Lee rejected the deal as is his right because he has been in the league for 10 years and five with the same team.
