UPDATE 6:34: <a href="https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/230430478543507456">Buster Olney tweets</a> that the Marlins raised the idea, "but before they advanced it, Lee said he wouldn't accept deal. Was never close to finished." 
 Is this just a case of the Yankees trying to add serious depth? Or are they more concerned about Mark Teixeira than they're letting on? 
 <a href="https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/230422083446910976">Jayston Stark reported</a> that the Marlins thought they had traded Carlos Lee to the Yankees on Tuesday, but Lee wouldn't waive his no-trade clause. Stark tweeted that he heard the information from two different clubs. 
 Miami acquired Lee on July 4 from Houston--with Lee waving his no-trade clause for the deal. But the Marlins have sunk firmly out of contention since then and have reportedly been looking to move him. 
 A free agent at the end of the season, Lee is hitting .284 with six home runs and has a .348 on-base percentage. He's played first base exclusively this season, but spent time at left field in 2011. 
 <a href="https://twitter.com/MarcCarig/status/230427007899545600">Marc Carig tweeted</a> that two Yankees scouts were watching Lee on Monday. 
 Nick Swisher is playing first base for the Yankees on Tuesday as Mark Teixeira recovers from a wrist injury that's supposed to keep him out a few days. <a href="https://twitter.com/teixeiramark25/status/230373047855636481">Teixeira tweeted </a>from his verified account earlier on Tuesday that the injury was "nothing a little cortisone and rest won't fix."
