They're not trading those big contracts for anything of value unless they pick up a good chunk of them, so there's little reason to try and trade someone like Fukudome unless another team is desperate to have him, and that's not likely. My point is that it was pointless to bring up the idea of next year being a "rebuilding year" because the FA class isn't conducive to actually rebuilding a team and the Cubs don't have enough players that they can actually sell high on, and the Cubs aren't really a team that needs to be "rebuilt." Enough of their big contracts will be steadily coming off the books after next season that they don't have do something so drastic.
