How much does DLee command on the open market? Probably not much at his age. As much as I like him, and would like to keep him, the Cubs have no reason to go out and offer him more than his worth just because of what they've given other players... Usually, the market has dictated the money. There was another article this morning about the trade market for Prince Fielder, and there are very few teams that aren't set at 1B, outside of Boston and San Francisco. San Francisco would probably be Lee's best option in Free Agency... I'm sure Sabean would gladly hand out $15mm per year for a 35 year-old.
