I don't think there would be any takers on that contract unless you are chucking in an absolute ton of money. Even then it isn't like they would get a top 20 prospect back in return. I think they are basically stuck with each other unless they can work out a 'bad contract for bad contract'/'change of scenery' deal down the road.

Trading him now would be selling low, which is always a mistake unless you figure he's going to get even worse.
