Dempster Still Only Willing To Approve Trade To Dodgers

Ryan Dempster remains adamant that he will only approve a trade to the Dodgers, according to sources.

Dempster's service time gives him the ability to reject any deal before it is completed.

The Braves, who had a deal in place for Dempster last week, went in another direction by acquiring Paul Malholm from Chicago on Monday.

The Cubs are "trying to bend over backwards" to send Dempster to his preferred destination, one source said, but the two sides remain at an impasse.
