Dylan Hernandez tweets the Dodgers have pulled out of the Ryan Dempster talks. Colletti stood his ground. Give him props for that at least. Tim Brown confirms.
Here’s the latest from Joel Sherman, Less than 1 hr to deadline and Yankees ownership not presented with any $ to consider yet on Dempster. Again logistics For Dempster to get to Yankees, commissioners office would also have to OK more than $1M exchanging hands. Just not lot time for all this.
Ken Rosenthal reports that the Dodgers are standing their ground. He points out that they have made deals without moving any of top 7-8 prospects. The Dodgers are refusing to move any of them for rental like Dempster. He says the Dodgers haven’t given up yet, the staredown continues.
The Dodgers are working on two major deals. Dodgers seem to have backup plan(s) in case Dempster talks went south. Pursuing starting pitching on multiple fronts, tweets Kevin Goldstein.
Yankees, Rangers, Dodgers in on Dempster. Dempster has told the Cubs he will approve a trade to all three, tweets Bruce Levine.

Just now from Jim Bowden Cubs source just told me that a Dempster deal to Dodgers NOT done and that Dempster opened up to other teams & they are working hard w 1 now
The deal is not done yet, other teams could still be involved. Almost at the two hour mark.
MLB Network just suggested multi-player deal coming with Cubs and Dodgers, might include Allen Webster.
Jim Bowden says the Dodgers are getting Dempster. Dodgers dotting final I’s and crossing of T’s. Bowden also says Giants ownership stretching budget to make Pence acquisition work….new ownership with Dodgers being felt hard in SF and they are adjusting.
Ken Rosenthal is tweeting the Dodgers remain focused on Dempster and want him even if they add another pitcher. Also looking at hitters, too. Say what?! Hitters, Dempster and another pitcher? Wow.
Dempster is scheduled to start tonight, of course I am pretty much thinking the trade deadline is going to throw a wrench into that gear.
Jayson Stark tweets that a Victorino trade would also mean Soriano won’t be attached to any Dempster trade to LA. They preferred Victorino all along anyway.
David Kaplan is reporting that the Dodgers remain very much in play for Dempster. However, nothing is close at this time.
Jon Heyman tweets that contrary to reports the Yankees are no longer in on Dempster.
In hopes of keeping all of the Ryan Dempster rumors organized, I am starting a new thread that will cover all of the rumors. All the newest rumors will be on top. Hopefully Ned Colletti is close to putting this nail biter behind us, otherwise can we please move on already?
Vicorino was a good move but I rather have soriano to add protection for hanley.
I agree. I was really hoping for a Dempster/Soriano move at the end there, but it just didn’t happen. At least we didn’t mortgage the future or trade Zach Lee, cuz you know if McCourt was around that would’ve happened for sure.
Agreed. IÂ was really hoping for a Dempster/Soriano move at the end there, but it just didn’t happen. At least the Dodgers didn’t trade Webster or Lee, cuz you know if McCourt was around we would’ve done it to save money. Best deadline moves in a very long time.
