Cliff Lee "hopes" the Phillies turn it around, but he is aware that he'll likely hear trade rumors if the club doesn't surge up the standings by midseason.

Lee has been dealt before and has a list of nine approved destinations.

"I definitely want to win. I want to be on a winning team," Lee said. "That should be what it's all about."

A Phillies source suggested that they had no real interest in trading Lee, who is having a typical season, with a 4-2 record and 2.83 ERA.
