According to Jon Heyman, Ryan Dempster has been traded to the Dodgers. More to come if it's confirmed.
Dodgers getting Dempster…..final dotting of i's and crossing of t's being worked on……

Still no word on whether it's official or who may be coming to the Cubs, but I'm sure Dempster will be traded to the Dodgers at some point today.
UPDATE 1: CBS Sports is reporting that the Cubs are still shopping Matt Garza.
UPDATE 2: On twitter there are rumors that this could be a larger deal and some are suggesting James Russell could be included.
If Dempster to Dodgers is multi-player package, James Russell might be another guy on the move.

UPDATE 3: George Offman confirms the deal is close and includes more than just Dempster.
UPDATE 4: Phil Rogers reportedly said on MLB Network that the Cubs really want Allen Webster.
Hopefully something good. Not expecting much though.
Garza to either Toronto or Texas? or Cincy?
@ bubblesdachimp:
I still don’t think he gets traded. Way too much risk.
@ mb21:
But Sveum said his bullpen yesterday went terrifically terrific.
@ Suburban kid:
(dying laughing) I’m sure that other teams will take Sveum’s word for it.
Besides, I don’t think the bullpen went that well. They didn’t cut it short.
@ Suburban kid:
Just as long as the Cubs don’t trade MVP candidate Shawn Camp, the pen will be fine
I am going to call Garza to d backs headlined by Skaggs
This is fun.
This is funny:
