Dempster Trade Appears--Thankfully--Dead

The reported trade that would have sent Ryan Dempster to Atlanta in exchange for Randall Delgado and a prospect appears dead, according to multiple reports. While details are still a little sketchy, it sounds like a deal was agreed to in principle between the two clubs and Dempster exercised his 10-5 rights in hopes of being sent to the Dodgers instead. If Dempster doesn't want to be in Atlanta, so be it. While he leads the league in ERA, the underlying numbers paint a picture that's not all that different from the rest of his career.

Nah, dude. You're overrated.
