Found June 29, 2009 on MLB Trade Rumors:
Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com has heard that the Indians are in no hurry to deal Cliff Lee and would have to be "completely overwhelmed" by an offer to make it work.This report jives with the rumblings SI.com's Jon Heyman has heard, and the reasons behind Cleveland's stubborness make complete sense.  Lee has an affordable $9MM option for 2010 and is the glue that holds the Tribe's rotation together.  Without his presence, the Indians would have some serious rotation question marks in 2010 and beyond.  The 30-year-old left-hander is 4-6 this season with a 2.96 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 79/26 K/BB ratio.
