I don't recall anyone saying outright that the Dodgers offered
Webster for Dempster - only suggesting it as an alternative.
There's no reason to suspect the Dodgers would have done so
anyway, after Dempster destroyed the Cubs bargaining position.

I thought I saw this more than one place, but perhaps I was
wrong. Here is one spot, and I must say that I have no reason to
assume that Cubs Den is likely to have a great source on this.

I'd keep the salt handy. You're going to need quite a bit of
it.

Just reported that Cubs asked for Webster which was rejected -
Dodgers offered "two lesser prospects that project as
relievers". This is not going to end well..........

It certainly isn't starting well.

*Update* Dodgers do not want to put Allen Webster in the deal
and the package that they are offering is very suspect.Cubs will
not cave.

It would be a very uncomfortable situation if Dempster is still
on roster after trade deadline. Can't believe either side wants
that.
Not encouraging. Not sure why, but some reason I find myself
trusting Kaplan more than most reporters on this subject. Maybe
because he was the first to raise the red flag after a bevy of
reports that the Braves deal was done.

What choice does Theo have? As bad as it would be to have
Dempster on the roster, better that than give him away for
scraps and be seen as caving to a player who stabbed him in the
back. Make a QO and hope he turns it down, then hope someone is
willing to sign him. If Dempster doesn't feel comfortable with
that he only has himself to blame.

As Cubs fans, I think we all feel like #2 most of the time.

Why would it be bad to have Dempster on the roster? if they
can't get something quite good for him, then keep him and offer
him a qualifying amount this winter. If he refuses, we get a
draft choice. If he accepts, we have him for another year, and
might be able to trade him this winter or next summer.
