In the past he has made it seem as though he would accept a trade to a contending team.
If Dempster agrees to the deal, Randall Delgado is reportedly heading from Atlanta to Chicago. He was optioned to triple-A after his last start.
Although just 22 years old, Delgado has yet to prove he can pitch in the big leagues. In 24 career MLB starts, he is 4-9 with a 4.42 ERA, and he is winless in his last six starts.
