12:43pm: Dempster doesn’t want to be traded to the Braves right now, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports. Instead, the right-hander hopes to be dealt to the Dodgers. While the Dodgers had interest in Dempster and were considered by some to be the favorites to acquire him, they didn’t reach an agreement with the Cubs. Chicago would lose leverage with the Dodgers if Dempster rejects a trade to the Braves, his second choice.

He just :pacspit: @ braves

Is AA going to try and land Johnson and Ramirez?

What gets it done? Gose, Syndergaard, Escobar/Hechevarria, if the Jays take on Hanley's whole salary?

I assume any potential deal between Toronto and Miami would include Arencibia. John Buck is terrible and the move would also clear the way for D'Arnaud

Is there a trade deadline thread? If so, sorry, didn't see one yet, but: Wandy Rodriguez to the Pirates. Pirates getting money from Houston. Houston has dealt Lee, Lyon, Myers and Wandy so far. Cleaning house.

I honestly don't know why I bother watching the Brewers anymore. Every game is the same result: us finding ways to lose.

jesus christ that brewer bullpen is pathetic.

lol, I don't think "pathetic" is strong enough of a word to use. It's unbelievable how bad it is. Like I just tweeted, last 2 games:

Doc = 6 ER, Wolf leaves the game leading 6-2 (and the Pen has cost him numerous wins), and K-Rod blows it, giving up 4 in the 9th.

Lee = 6 ER. Greinke leaves after 7, giving up 1 run and only 3 hits. We scored 3 in the 8th to go up 6-1. Philly turns around in the bottom half and gets 6 off our bullpen.

Unbelievable.
