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-->
Good point.

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.

Yeah...it's not like fans don't buy tickets or anything.

What Kid said is right. Hendry got vocal and all, but it eased the pain of losing Sammy big time. Sure, it probably cost the chance retiring #21, or a Sosa Day or what have you, but that has been wiped away with 'roid allegations anyways.
