Carlos didn't "agree" to go anymore than a tenant agrees to be evicted. I doubt the Marlins were on his no-trade list because, back in 2006, the Marlins were still living on the cheap and would have never traded for somebody expensive like Carlos Lee.
When you veto a trade, teams don't generally react well. Yes, it was within Carlos' rights but it's like refusing a favor to the Godfather. You may win temporarily but the don won't forget.
