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.

The Dodgers have swung a pair of trades in the last week, adding Hanley Ramirez and Brandon League, but sources say they aren't done dealing.
Los Angeles is targeting Philadelphia's Shane Victorino, and both Ryan Dempster and Alfonso Soriano of the Cubs.
The trades could hinge on one another.
If the Dodgers land Victorino, they would rule out pursuing Soriano.
