I think it's still a bit too early to trade. The Cubs are probably working on lining up the desperate teams as a lot of starters are going down. I think Dempster makes one more start (against the White Sox I believe?) and then he might be dealt after that.

I think it is being overblown how close he is to being traded. I wouldn't be shocked if it happened before the next start, but I expect him to get a chance to continue the scoreless inning streak in a Cubs uniform.

Votes yes b/c you simply can't trade away your only remaining talent and expect people to pay these outrageous tic prices.

I hope not but I think so. He's playing so much better than he actually is though. He could crash back down to reality at any time.

I say he makes 1-3 more starts but he needs to be traded ASAP

No I don't think he will. Prediction: He's traded to the Dodgers by tomorrow sometime.

He makes it as a Chicagoan. White Sox that is against the Cubs

According to the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, the #Dodgers ''could pull the trigger soon'' on a trade for #Cubs Ryan Dempster.

Interesting, I am very curious to see what the haul for him will be. It could be very low like Dewey and others have suggested due to his age, contract, and no longer being eligible for compensation when dealt. Or it could be quite good since they are very few sellers at this point and Dempster is the best available pitcher out there.

Not that I particularly care, but who would take Dempster's spot in the rotation?

if we trade him this soon I am guessing the haul will be better than expected.

I'm guessing Coleman or Wells would get first crack at it. Volstad has been pretty bad in AAA. I would guess that Chris Rusin eventually gets a shot, but I think the guys making some cash would get the first cracks at re-establishing themselves.

There will be more sellers at the deadline though and teams that are contending know that.

If his amazing performance to date isn't inflating his value now, then a rough outing against the Sox shouldn't deflate it either. Dempster is a known quantity as you've been telling us.

As unlikely as it seems, I hope he does get traded before his next start, so he can leave on a good note. Giving up no ERs and going 2-2 with a triple is a perfect way to end his time here.
