MLB Breaking news is reporting that the Braves got Dempster. No word on what the Cubs got in return. While not really shades of Maddux, it kind of sucks to know that he’ll be pitching against the Cubs this year.

The guy is 35 with an expiring contract.

He had to leave.

Too bad he acted like a goofball for most of his Cnb tenure. And then not coincidentally turned serious in his contract year.

playing for the cubs would fuck up my brain as well--- think playing your hardest and knowing 100% you will never win… got to be rough… I understand the Big Z

How about those Sox getting swept in Detroit?

The Dempster trade is pretty straight forward in baseball business.

So I am not surprised you simply do not understand.

I guess you missed in the Sox/Kitties thread “ah the after the all star break swoon and its not looking good”

I didn’t memtion the Cards because I didn’t want to be accused of being biased or pile on to that ass kicking your boys received in that series.

Except for the fact that the Cubs, Dempster and 3 guys named Mo are denying it, this trade is done. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

This is getting weird. The Trib is reporting that Dempster wants to go to the Dodgers. The LA Times is reporting that the Dodgers want Garza. Garza, it is well known, wants to stay here and the Cubs have put an insane price on his services. Think 5 top prospects and change. No one seems to give a fuck what Atlanta wants.

The Demspter Watch (newest rumors on top).

Ryan Dempster allowed three earned runs on five hits in six innings against the Pirates today, striking out six. Trade talk continues to surround the 35-year-old right-hander, who would prefer to be dealt to the Dodgers than the Braves. Here’s the latest on Dempster, with the most recent notes up top:

* The Cubs have told teams interested in Dempster they’d grant a window to negotiate an extension, tweets Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports.
* The possibility of a trade exists, but the Cubs are frustrated by their lack of leverage, Morosi tweets . Chicago still hopes Dempster changes his mind about Atlanta, tweets Olney .
* The Cubs now plan to keep Dempster and make him a qualifying offer after the season, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney tweets . Doing so would allow the Cubs to collect a compensatory draft pick in 2013.
* The Dodgers have Zack Greinke and Josh Johnson on their list in case they don’t trade for Dempster, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports tweets .
* Braves GM Frank Wren said on 680-AM The Fan in Atlanta that he’s “moving on” from Dempster. “I think it’s very highly unlikely,” Wren said (via ESPNChicago.com ). Once the Braves heard Dempster would prefer to play for the * Dodgers, they moved on. Wren said the Braves continue pursuing starting pitchers.
* The Dodgers have the upper hand in talks with the Cubs, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets .
* The Dodgers are feeling increasingly confident that they can work out a deal for Dempster, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney tweets . The Cubs don’t have many alternatives given Dempster’s interest in playing for L.A. and his no-trade protection.
* A trade between the Dodgers and Cubs still seems “realistic,” Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports tweets .
* The Dodgers still intend to add a starting pitcher, Scott Miller of CBSSports.com tweets .

How about sending Dempster to Orlando for Howard?
