Executives involved in the bidding for free-agent left-hander Cliff Lee expect talks to pick up in the coming week. Lee is expected to make a decision during the winter meetings that will begin on Dec. 6. He is drawing from the Rangers, Yankees and others. The agent for Lee, Darek Braunecker, indicated on Saturday afternoon that he and his client could meet with anywhere from one to three teams in the week ahead. "We've got a fair number of teams trying to work through the process," Braunecker said. "It's probably fair to say we've got a half-dozen teams in the mix."
