It's only blowing up the team if you only get "hot prospects" in return. If you can work a three-way deal to get a guy like Adrian Gonzalez from SD then I think you do it. We paid Lee a lot of money thinking he'd be a speed and power guy in the middle of our lineup. He's neither of those things, for a myriad of reasons. We need more power out of our corner infield. Plus, if you trade Lee now you're selling at the highest point, which is always a good thing.
I love the guy, but it might be time.
