08:15 AM ET 07.20 | Considering where we find the Dodgers and Cubs in their organizational cycles, there's no doubt they make for ideal trade partners. The Dodgers never did look like a first-place team, and now aren't performing like it either. So, it was without fanfare that the Cubs and Dodgers all but fell into each other's arms this week, and by Thursday were having somewhat constructive conversations about swapping Dempster for prospects. The market for Dempster is broad, however, and the Dodgers figure to be challenged for the pitcher by the likes of the Detroit Tigers and Atlanta Braves, in particular. The Cubs, meantime, acquired 29-year-old right-hander Justin Germano from the Boston Red Sox on Thursday.

The Dodgers are going to stay desperate because they don't have enough good minor league players to be trade partners.

Will be interesting to see which team overpays for Dempster.

The Flubs should trade both Garza and Dempster as they rebuild.

I believe they will. Dempster first, then Garza, then maybe Maholm, then maybe Soriano, then maybe Marmol...etc

Not to be contrary, but just because their players are performing in the minors doesn't mean they're major league ready.

He is in the way of developing talent, and this year he is hitting well enough to be worth a little bit in return; pay the money, get a suspect or two, and get him out of the way.

the phillies need to be fair to cole hamels,, a 6 year 150 million deal would be the best offer for hamels after all the pitcher has been more depenable than lee or halladay,,,

He's 117 - 120 for his career with a 4.32 ERA. He had a 4.81 ERA last year. Teams will be overpaying.
