Ryan Dempster trade thread -UPDATE- No one knows what the **** is going on

[2SeamHeat]

Has anyone read the Trib the apst few days. I believe it is Phil Rogers that has been proposing trades and thinks Soriano plus $22 million (leaving the new team with $14 mil) would get the Cubs three solid prospects including an alleged top 50. :smh:

Wow... Rogers showing why he needs to simply stick to propaganda write-ups, over-hyping prospects, and writing details about games. If that was all it would take, then Soriano would have been gone a month ago. He would be a far superior option to Carlos Lee, who may end up getting traded twice this year. I don't think any team will take on more than $2-3M per for his remaining contract, and $1M or so for the rest of this season. That's at best $7M that the other team would pick up... and then the Cubs might get a team's 6-10 spec that's more of a dropping flop than any real upside.

TK on ESPN 1000 doesnt believe that if demp decides to go to ATL that delgado would comeback.

2:41pm: Dodgers pitching prospects Zach Lee, Allen Webster, and Chris Reed are all off the table in Dempster talks, tweets Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus.

It seems likely that the Cubs are trying to get the Dodger up to a Garrett Gould at this point. Gould and Miller is my call on an eventual deal.

 

[DewsSox79]

theo is gonna be up for 24 hours.

 

[dabynsky]

Brett from BleacherNation is definitely staying up...

 

[Rice Cube]

The other side of the coin is that the Dodgers are trying to land either Victorino or Pence so they'll likely prioritize their prospect package towards Philly (alliteration!) rather than the Cubs.

Jayson Stark:

One exec who spoke with #Nationals says: "If I looked up and saw that Washington traded for Ryan Demoster it wouldn't be a surprise."

 

[ZDemp34]

I hope this is true. At least Washington might give something decent for Demp.

And Demp rejects that too I'm gonna flip shit.

 

[dabynsky]

Phil Rogers is saying that it sounds like Dempter will accept deals to other teams. IF that was the case why are the Cubs begging the Dodgers to up their offer?

 

[dabynsky]

Patrick Mooney:

Dempster doesn't expect trade happening today, waiting to see what front office brings him tomorrow, but says that could change on the hour.

If this drags on to the deadline shoot me...

 

[DewsSox79]

im sure he will be gone by tomorrow.

the only negatives are you arent going to get a delgado like return again from anyone since more and more pitchers are rumored to be available and the fact that theo now has to focus all of his attention on this demp deal at the last minute while trying to deal other pieces on the team. if demp is the only one traded that is a big failed deadline, and demp would be to blame

 

[85Bears4life]

nothing todo with demp but,....

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal

Teams interested in Maholm, but #Cubs also could retain him for 2013 at $6.5M option price. Last seven starts: 1.00 ERA.

[daddies3angels]

I have bad feeling Demp goes to LAD and Cubs get back shit

 

[DewsSox79]

dempster just left wrigley and was asked about tomorrow. " Im planning on pitching tomorrow night "

 

[ZDemp34]

dempster just left wrigley and was asked about tomorrow. " Im planning on pitching tomorrow night "

Doesn't mean anything. He's saying that because as a player he's supposed to not let the rumors affect his routine.

 

[Mr. Cub]

dempster just left wrigley and was asked about tomorrow. " Im planning on pitching tomorrow night "

...But as a Cub?

 

[DewsSox79]

Doesn't mean anything. He's saying that because as a player he's supposed to not let the rumors affect his routine.

[DewsSox79]
