In fact, if we're sellers, we'd probably pick up most of his salary for the rest of the season (since we've budgeted for it) in order to get more in return. The question is whether he'd waive his NTC.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If Lee were hitting, I don't think many teams would balk at his salary even for just a half season. I think we would get screwed trying to sell low on him though.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The question is do we think he'll be back? If we're selling and don't think he'll be back, better to sell low then get nothing for him.

Heck, he might come back even if we trade him. No reason the Cubs can't re-sign him for 2011.
