Travis Lee
Technically Travis Lee was never a Twin. Although selected by the club second overall in the 1996 MLB Draft Lee was declared a free agent on September 25th of that year by MLB's executive council. Rule 4(E) of the CBA dictated that teams must send their draft picks written contract offers within fifteen days of their selection. These offers could be negotiated afterword provided the initial offer arrived within the fifteen day window. Teams had skirted the rule for years often issuing verbal offers instead and the Twins had elected to postpone contract negotiations so Lee could focus on his preparations to play in the 1996 Olympics. Unlike past years however agents decided to challenge the enforcement of the rule. Scott Boras challenged on behalf of his clients John Patterson, Bobby Seay, and Matt White while Jeff Moorad challenged for Lee (1). All four were found to have not been tendered contract offers and were declared free agents able to sign with any team. After receiving 13 contract offers Lee chose to sign with the expansion Arizona Diamondbacks for a contract that included a bonus of ten million (1).
