Dempster Traded to Texas for 3B Villanueva & RHP Hendricks

[Illini Iceman]

Dodgers are gonna cave on Webster. and it's going to be glorious.

 

The prospects are burning a hole in Coletti's pocket.

[neely crenshaw]

I'd feel better if Soriano wasn't in the lineup. However if we see alfi pulled sometime here, it could be a really good sign!

[17 Seconds]

they won't include webster because the trade is already centered around rubby duh

[THISisTHEyear09]

Whats a realistic return for Dempster and Soriano?

 

Could it be that they eat some Soriano salary and we get couple fringe prospects.

no way theo trades for fringe prospects just to get salary relief.

[neely crenshaw]

Someone call Detroit, because they are falling apart.

 

Or Boston, because they may think they are coming on (heck, they may be coming on)

I just assume that they're literally demanding that we take him if Nightengale says he's off limits.

if it's dempster/soriano and basically all of alfonso's salary paid, we better be getting back at least webster

Maholm and Johnson close to being traded to #Braves.

 

 

ETA: nothing to see here, move along.

Hey Laura!

Hey CT!

Harang getting lit up. Make it Webster AND Lee, Mr. Coletti.

[neely crenshaw]

sports net central anchors are discussing the rotation without Dempster, Garza and Maholm expecting them to be gone and AAA guys getting their shot.

 

would have been nice to get Soriano to SF. Taking care of that deal AND possibly forcing the Dodgers to respond.

#Cubs discouraging talk of Brett Jackson coming up. But it looks like Casey Coleman on his way back to pitch

Could it be that Brett Jackson is being used as a chip to try to bring a better return for Dempster or Garza?

Wouldn't mind it at all if we could get a good pitcher back in return. I've lost almost all hope in Jackson.

Per reports on twitter and fox sports we're really close to acquiring 2B Brian Roberts.

That was my initial thought when the news came down earlier.

Brooks Raley should be the only option.

Has Big Bird confirmed this?

Then what does our outfield look like next year, and please don't say the same as it does now.

[neely crenshaw]

better not take at bats away from barney or valbuena!

The Cubs have the whole offseason to figure that out. I don't think Jackson is going to make or break the outfield at this point.

What?

I don't expect Jackson to be very much in the majors. His strikeout rate is very alarming. If we could put him in a deal with Dempster or Garza and get a top starting pitching prospect in return, I would be 100% on board with it.
