Derrek Lee 1b
5 years/$65M (2006-10)
signed extension with Cubs 4/06, replacing final year of previous deal, which was to pay $8M for 2006
06-10: $13M annually
no-trade clause
Ted Lilly lhp
4 years/$40M (2007-10)
signed by Cubs as a free agent 12/06
$4M signing bonus (paid 1/07)
07:$5M, 08:$7M, 09:$12M, 10:$12M
award bonuses: $75,000 each for Gold Glove or All Star selection, $0.2M for LCS MVP, $0.3M for MVP, $0.3M for Cy Young ($0.2M for 2nd place in vote, $0.15M for 3rd, $0.1M for 4th or 5th)
no-trade protection
Ricketts doesn't want to eat money for these guys. Especially with no trade the only way you trade any of these guys is paying for their mega contracts and hoping they waive their NTC.

I'm so sick of "dah just get rid of these guys" posts on this board without any regard to salary, contract lengths, stipulations, etc. Do you people know anything?

The Cubs have to try and get rid of some veterans and look to the future. If Jim Hendry is smart, he'll build a team w/ $80 million coming off the books in the next 2 years

If JH was smart
Maybe this year but he won't be back next year. That's what I think. The Cubs are trying to trade Lilly and re-sign him in FA. And are also trying to trade Lee.

I doubt they'll re-sign Lee and I really hope they don't re-sign Lilly. His loss in velocity is really hurting him and the Cubs have a lot of good, young arms in the minorsIf JH was smart

I wish Aramis would opt out of his deal in the offseason, but I doubt he does w/ the horrendous season he's having

You bet your ass Aramis will be exercising that option year.
And for the last time, this "getting rid of veterans" thing isn't going to happen when the veterans are all signed to huge deals with NO TRADE PROTECTION AT THE VERY LEAST.

Lilly will be traded along with Gorzo and Theriot in my opinion. I think these players won't be as hard to trade with Fontnot or Baker.

You're not getting rid of Lilly without having to pay most of what's left on his contract, something ownership won't be too keen on. And why are you going to just start trading your arb-eligible players away? If the goal is to cut down on payroll and build for the future, you would want to hold on to these guys.
This is like the 24685th time someone has had to explain this either to you or someone else in this section alone. Jesus.
