Lee adds to bizarre career with Expos waivers
Montreal Expos placed pitcher Bill Lee on waivers less than a day after he left a game prep area. Lee cited anger over Rodney Scott’s trade and said he faced a $5,000 fine. He described behavior in a volatile weekend, including ripping his uniform and signing a release. Expos GM John McHale said future performance also influenced the decision.
