Dempster Traded to Texas for 3B Villanueva & RHP Hendricks

[davell]

Honestly, it might be a good idea to put a sticky out, explaining the qualifier, the draft allotment, the draft picks that are trade eligible, IFA allotments going forward, and IFA money being traded. These things are all going to come up a ton for the next year or so.

Holdup in Dempster talks remains quality of prospects #Cubs would receive from #Dodgers. Want actual talent back.

I havr confidence our FO is going to do right by the organization, not by him.

[El Duderino]

The Cubs want actual talent back? You don't say.

[gocubs2118]

That makes no sense, this trade would already be done if we were bending over backwards to trade him there.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I assume "bend over backwards" means "We're still talking to them despite the fact that they are spamming ridiculous, lowball offers."

Really Ken? That was [expletive] information overload. Try not to send out that much [expletive] at once, man.

I think you're confusing bending over backwards with "letting the Dodgers bend the Cubs over"

So let's go with the assumption that they make it work with the Dodgers, and Soriano is involved too. So for Dempster, Soriano, and 90% of Soriano's contract, what do you want in return?

Webster, and nothing less.

Webster and Gould/Martin.

That's a good point.

Chance one of the prospects in the Dempster to Dodgers deal is 21 year old right hander Garret Gould.

Touche

At best, Gould could be a No. 3 starter in the majors. His curveball is definitely his best pitch, but his changeup is about on par with his fastball (from what I saw). More likely, Gould could be a nice No. 4 option, but either way, he should be a contributing member of the rotation.

Kevin Goldstein ‏@Kevin_Goldstein

Heard that Zach Lee, Allen Webster and Chris Reed are all off the table in any Dempster talks.

 

Well, damn. If Gould is still there, who else could we get out of this?

[Guest]

I think I might need to unfollow Goldstein until after the trading deadline, the ignorant hubris is becoming too much too take.

As opposed to normal?

Going from Randall Delgado to Garrett Gould really is a proverbial kick in the nuts, so to speak.

At least he's a subject matter expert when it comes to prospects, I can take that as part of his charm. He starts talking about transactions and it gets truly unbearable.
