The Braves are "moving on" from their pursuit of Ryan Dempster. "I think it's very highly unlikely," Atlanta GM Frank Wren said on 680-AM The Fan in Atlanta. "We put parameters on the deal that expired (Tuesday). We were moving on from the time we heard that there was the potential of another club being really where he wanted to go. And he had a lot of personal reasons for that. "We haven't stopped pursuing other pitchers. We've had scouts in ballparks seeing everyone. It's one of those bumps in the road but at the same time we put parameters on it that expired yesterday so we've moved on." The Cubs respect and understand Atlanta's desire to move on, according to a source. Chicago is still open to working with the Braves if they have a change of heart. Reports surfaced Monday that the Cubs and Braves had agreed to a deal that would send Dempster to Atlanta for 22-year-old starter Randall Delgado. All the deal needed was Dempster's approval. He has the power to veto any deal and said Tuesday that he would take his time making the decision. Dempster reportedly has the Dodgers as his top choice with the Braves next on the list. "I want to look everything over first before I make any decisions and I have time to do that," Dempster said. "There's a week before the trading deadline. That's where I stand on it."
