Lee has a no trade clause with 20 teams, and the 9 other teams that the Phillies can trade him to without his consent are: Braves, Miami, Washington, Mets (AKA NL East/will never happen), Indians, Astros, Padres, Rays and Twins (AKA teams not really contending/why would they trade for him). so basically, in order for Lee to be traded he has to agree to it, and I bet he'll only agree to it if the other team will vest his final year. that is brilliant.
