Bradley & Zambrano were not cases where Hendry could really lower their value. Everything that had happened was already public.
Yes, I think he lowered Sosa's value by releasing that Sosa lied about when he left Wrigley. <b> At the same time, he also had to make the thought of trading Sosa palatable to Cubs fans. A few months before, that had been almost inconceivable.</b>
The "Hendry kills trade values" theme is overblown at best.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Not much of a point. Fan approval of roster moves is a what's overblown. Fans have virtually no role at all in the outcomes of these situations.
