The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking for a bat to help their anemic offense, but Houston Astros first baseman Carlos Lee doesn't think he wants to be that guy.

Lee told MLB.com that he has been informed by Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow that trade discussions with the Dodgers have included the first baseman. Since he has a limited no-trade clause, Lee would have to approve the deal.

Lee has told the Astros, though, that he doesn't want to waive the no-trade clause, a source told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney.

When Lee arrived at Wrigley Field for a game against the Cubs on Saturday, he said, according to MLB.com: "I met with Jeff this morning and he told me what's going on and let's see what happens."
