"Former Cubs star Sammy Sosa was elected to the team's Hall of Fame along with former first baseman Derrek Lee." - 2024
"2010: The Braves acquire 1B Derrek Lee from the Chicago Cubs in return for three minor league pitchers (Robinson Lopez, Tyrelle Harris and Jeffrey Lorick) on the same day they place starting first baseman Troy Glaus on the disabled list with inflammation around his left knee." - 2023
"A Happy Birthday to Derrek Lee, plus other historical events." - 2022
"Only four other Cubs have ever hit more than 42 (Billy Williams’ mark in 1970, and the team record for a lefthanded hitter, and that one’s probably not going to be broken either): Derrek Lee (46 in 2005), Andre Dawson (49 in 1987), Dave Kingman (48 in 1979), and Ernie Banks, who did it four times: 44 in 1955, 43 in 1957, 47 in 1958 and 45 in 1959." - 2017
"Derrek Lee and Alex Gonzalez, teammates on the Marlins' 2003 World Series champions, were among dignitaries attending an All-Star Legacy ceremony at Marlins Park as Major League Baseball and the Marlins dedicated a newly purchased, All-Star branded Mobile Eye Unit for Miami's Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired." - 2016
"Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez and Moises Alou did the same for the 2004 Cubs." - 2015
"If he keeps up this pace and the Cubs make the postseason, he could be the first North Sider to finish in the top three in MVP voting since Derrek Lee in 2005." - 2014
"In an effort to slash payroll, Loria traded Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell, Brad Penny, Luis Castillo, Juan Pierre, Alex Gonzalez, Derrek Lee and Juan Encarnacion—all key members of that championship team—over the next two years."
