The Marlins are begging teams to take Carlos Lee off their hands, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports (on Twitter).

Source says Cubs and Tigers reached point of exchanging names on Alfonso Soriano. Tony Campana and Luis Valbuena were other possible pieces.

FYI, re: the qualifying offer...

I think that's probably why they were going to trade Dempster no matter what. There's no way he declines the money once it gets past the $13MM mark.

Yeah I saw that earlier Rice and I think that makes it more impressive to get a fringe 100 prospect at the last second for Dempster.

That's one hell of a jump. Must be shifted with the extension to Hamels.

Cubs are apparently looking into recently DFA'd Derek Lowe. I am guessing the odds of Brooks Raley or Chris Rusin getting a looksy this year are slim after all.

I don't buy it, goes against Theo's plan. :shrug: Why would they be interested in that old fart anyway?

Because they have zero faith in anyone else currently in the system beyond Garza, Shark, and Wood to take the ball every fifth day. Wins don't matter, but not destroying the arms in the bullpen is a need.

If he did come and showed anything, I wouldn't be shocked if he signed a real team friendly short term deal for next year. This is probably the MO of the FO for this coming offseason with more DeJesus and Maholm type signings.

Thanks for the analysis Dabs, always can rely on you and Rice for reliable Cubs interpretation. You're a teacher right?

Eh not really comfortable giving that out since the faculty is relative small where I work.
