There are conditions, diminished values, injury and age concerns, and loss of comp picks... and if you somehow manage to get beyond the Lack of Leverage Gate, there are hundreds of Twits that will be looking for the One Trade to give away its location to the Dempster.... whose 10-5 rights will be ready to take it away!

Possibly, hard to say with a prospect and where the Cubs are right now anyways. It is not a player's concern to make a team better. It is a player's concern to play to their abilities. Demp has done that.

There's one team that Ryan would be traded to with only minutes to think and they haven't been mentioned. He'd be on a playoff contending team and not really have to leave at all. Prediction: Welcome to the South Side!!

I would love this... BUT, if I were Theo I'd probably just take the Dodgers low ball offer. Just being realistic...

And it is my concern to care about the team. Hence why I don't enjoy Ryan Dempster being here, and can we please stop with this whole prospect nonsense. Delgado isn't a known commidity, but he has already made it to the big leagues and put up respectable numbers. He is a pretty safe bet to be at least a guy that can take the ball every fifth day which is going to be way, way more than what we can say about anything we get for Ryan Dempster now.

If Theo and Jed do cave and just give him away sure. Otherwise I doubt it.

Didn't someone post a twitter link earlier in this thread about TJed never caving?

It's not a terrible idea. If the Cubs want to trade with LA, even with lost leverage they could ask the White Sox what they'd give up for Demp, especially since the Sox were rumored to be in on Greinke (which was kind of amusing). Demp would cost less, so Sox could potentially have something more valuable than whatever LA was lowballing the Cubs with. That's if the Cubs are hellbent on trading him instead of holding out for the draft pick.

per kaplan yesterday- he will not pitch for the white sox as he does not want to go there.
he is probably scared of the cell and the fact that its the AL.

You know what is weird we haven't heard a damn thing what the compensation what Jed Hoyer and Jason McLeod is. East coast bias indeed...

While I doubt the Al helps his case, it shouldn't be underestimated the offensve improvement the Cell is to Wrigly.

It's probably just a couple of PTBNLs.

Any chance Atlanta revisits the Dempster trade or did that ship sail for good? Now that Greinke is off the market, Dempster might be their last hope since Shields and/or J. Johnson might cost too much for the Braves to consider.

Your guess is as good as mine. The fact that we're so close to the deadline is probably advantage Cubs since they don't actually need to trade anyone. Of course it's more ideal if they could trade, but I think the Cubs can maintain some semblance of leverage that way.
Of course, Ted Lilly is rehabbing soon so the Dodgers may not need Dempster after all. Timing and silliness was never the best where the Cubs were concerned.
