Dempster Traded to Texas for 3B Villanueva & RHP Hendricks

[Hairyducked Idiot]

they were floating potential remaining opportunities for the Cubs to use their leverage to salvage a really bad situation.

 

Yep. Reasonable speculation on spinning the leverage back into the FO's hands.

 

And quenching my thirst for revenge

 

Exactly. I wanted Delgado, and now I won't get him because of Dempster. I want Dempster to feel my considerable pain.

ABTY says Dempster has received death threats, is very shaken, and blames the Braves even more for the leak. Seems to think it will cost the foundation money. Basically no way he accepts trade to ATL now.

Ugh. Damn you crazy idiots in this world making me feel less angry at Dempster.

Pffft. That's just reasonable fan concern. Nothing wrong with that!

Well wouldn't the solution be to have a change of heart and accept the Atlanta deal? Happy Ending. Edited July 25, 2012 by Theo

we don't negotiate with terrorists.

Agree. Let them kill Dempster. If the Cubs can't trade him nobody can!

What are the possibilities of getting the best return we can for Dempster from L.A. and then trying to flip Garza to the Braves instead for a better return from them?

yes, the leak sucks for him because he wanted to be a jerk and publicly say he would do whatever was best for the team while privately refusing to go anywhere but LA. i really don't know why he thought he would be able to pull all of that off though.

0% if Garza doesn't come back strong very soon.

Also, I feel like Dempster handled all of this very poorly. He could have refused to comment on the situation instead of using the media to passive aggressively hurt the Cubs' leverage.

Sucks for us too because at least the Dodgers didn't know it before.

 

Him lying (if you can call it that) publicly was in our best interests until his bluff got called by the leak.

If there were actual death threats, the odds that they came from a couple of the lunatics on here are rather high.

So will Kaplan treat Dempster about this like he did Aramis last year? Or let it slide this time?

I imagine they are the Eric Gordon type of death threats. As in they didn't happen.

Yesterday on CTL he said Dempster has every right to veto a trade and he couldn't understand why anybody was remotely upset about it.

about as high as the odds that southsideryan will always pretend he's too cool to ever get upset about something bad happening to the Cubs.

One of the guys on PSD with connections. Not the main guy (Marlin), but a guy with some reliable info from time to time. He works for the Royals in some capacity.

Amazing, he's right. But, Aramis did as well. Hard for Dave to understand that though, what with Aramis being too brown.

That wasn't even the dumbest thing said on the show yesterday. Some clown from Yahoo Sports said that we shouldn't be attempting to trade Dempster. We should keep him and sign him to a multi-year contract when the season is over.
