The Phillies are on the fringe of contention in the National League and haven't yet declared themselves sellers ahead of the July 31 trade deadline.
"If I said that, it wouldn't mean that I'd be traded tomorrow," Lee said when asked by a reporter if he would ever request that the Phillies trade him.
"Can I think of a scenario where that would happen? It'd have to be something pretty drastic and crazy for that to happen. I don't know, I doubt it."
Lee is 10-3 with a 2.86 ERA in 19 starts this season.
