Or couple LaHair w/ Dempster -- and get a good prospect....or couple Soriano with Dempster, and have them take on a decent amount of Sori's contract.Originally Posted by Jntg4

I wonder if there's a chance now that Epstein or Hoyer can approach Dempster and tell him, "Hey, there's no way we're going to work out a trade with the Dodgers now that you pulled your stunt. So, it's either accept the deal with Atlanta... or rot on a team we're trying to make worse. Your call... playoff shot with Atlanta, or diminished value in the upcoming free agency market." Then Demp can pull his head out of his ass.
beisbol been verra guid to meh!
I'm sure they had a variant of that conversation before the leverage went in the shitter. Dempster obviously doesn't care because he doesn't want to go.
It seemed like Dempster was forcing the FO to make another attempt with the Dodgers. Now that it's a proven fail... maybe Dempster will pull his head out of his ass.

That also depends on whether the Cubs can get fair value back. If not, they are under no obligation to trade Dempster for less than he's worth.
Brett from BleacherNation had an interesting quote he tweeted at Doug Padilla. The way he worded it seemed to imply it was coming from Padilla:
Wait, what? @ESPNChiCubs in a chat last hr: "Looks like [Demp] will still go somewhere though &he'll let go of LA dream if deadline is near"

I should add that Bruce Levine seemed to indicate that Dempster would be willing to go to more teams but wants time to consider it before he agrees. He also seemed to indicate that he might even take time to think about going to LA.

demp is a bitch. the end.
http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story...medium=twitterThis is Levine's take that I was paraphrasing earlier.

Not sure if posted...
Dempster will consider trades to a number of teams, including the Braves and Dodgers, if the Cubs approach him with a deal in place, Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com reports. "He has not said that he wouldn't go to Atlanta or anywhere else for that matter," a person familiar with the situation told Levine.
attention whore. he is ryan dempster, nothing more nothing less. stroke that ego some more demp will ya
Dempster needs to stop changing the story. Either he wants to go to Atlanta or not. Stop making it hard on the front office by changing your mind every day. Bitch.
Signatures are overrated.
if the Braves are still willing to give the Cubs Delgado, they are retarded
The Dempster-to-the Dodgers trade isn't "dead," tweets ESPN's Jayson Stark, though the Dodgers are interested in Josh Johnson and are "waiting to see if [the] price drops on" James Shields.
I've seen multiple tweets that have said basically the same thing about the Marlins asking price for Josh Johnson, and that is open up Baseball America and the top two or three prospects from each club.
Kaplan's latest on the situation with Dempster. Seems to paint the picture of strongly preferring to go to the Dodgers and basically hold out hoping that they would up their offer, but willing to go elsewhere once it gets closer to the deadline. http://www.csnchicago.com/baseball-c...ce=twitterfeed

Nightengale is saying that the Rangers and Marlins are in heavy talks for Josh Johnson.

I don't think he's an attention whore...I think he just fucked up with what he said earlier...and instead of apologizing, he just back-tracked. Still a dick move...but I don't think he's doing it b/c he wants to see his name in the papers.

Here's a thought can the Cubs make a deal for Dempster right before the deadline at all? Basically does everything have to be accepted and ready to go by the deadline or can they submit a deal at the deadline and Dempster spend a day or two thinking about it since that is so important to him.
Warning, the following may be Not Safe For Work or a storyline spoiler.
I think he basically has until the deadline and if he doesn't say yes and they don't submit the paperwork, that's it. I am not completely sure of that, but the deadline is pretty clear.
Yeah that is kind of what I thought, but I just wanted to be sure. That certainly makes a difference on the amount of time they have to make a deal.

I'm sure they'll have those Nextel walkie-talkies set up and Dempster will be in constant communication now, which they probably should have done before if they didn'tDempster needs to have his phone ring tone up so high that it'll wake him from any nap
Depending on where guys like Josh Johnson and James Shields go, this may be good for the Cubs after all. Maybe. Who the hell knows anymore
