Dodgers Make Offer For Dempster; Zach Lee Status Uncertain

I've got a bad feeling about this (or this, if you'd rather look at the ESPN Los Angeles framing).

CHICAGO -- The Los Angeles Dodgers have proposed a trade for Chicago Cubs starter Ryan Dempster, a baseball source told ESPNChicago.com on Thursday.

The Cubs have been clear their top priority on the trade market is adding young pitching. It is unclear whether Zach Lee, the top-rated arm in Los Angeles' farm system, is included in the offer.

The Cubs appear to be making contingency plans in case a Dempster trade is completed. A major league source told ESPNChicago.com that talks are fluid and the team is preparing to have replacements in St. Louis this weekend in case a deal is completed for the veteran starter.

Please don't let the price be Zach Lee.

Rosenthal saying Zach Lee is not on the table for a 36-year-old rental.

I'm assuming they're going hard after Dempster so they can have him remind Loney of 2008 and hope that jump starts his hiring.

Beer and autocorrect are a bad combo.

Hitting would jump start his hiring.
