I'm just reading what I have read on this still developing story. Nothing more, nothing less.

Law reporting Delgado is part of the deal. Teams just finalizing how much of the contract gets covered by Cubs.

Based on that return, it's the sellers market that most thought it would be. I'm guessing Jed is aggressively shopping Maholm and Garza

Delgado was slotted 2 spots ahead of Rizzo in pre-season prospect rankings. He was really rushed through the Braves minor league system. I'm assuming due to injuries/badness for some Braves starters.

Kevin Goldstein is tweeting the same. Looks pretty good for the Cubs.

2. Randall Delgado, RHP
DOB: 9/19/89
Height/Weight: 6-3/200
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: 2006, Panama
2011 Stats: 3.84 ERA (117.1-116-46-110) at Double-A (21 G). 4.15 ERA (21.2-19-11-25) at Triple-A (4 G). 2.83 ERA (35-29-14-18) at MLB (7 G)
Tools Profile: Power arm that lacks a breaking ball.

Year in Review: While he lacks Teheran's ceiling, Delgado outpitched him in the big leagues.
The Good: One scout classified Delgado as a bigger version of Jair Jurrjens with more velocity and less command. He throws strikes with a 91-94 mph fastball that can touch 97 when he rears back for more. His best secondary pitch is an average-to-plus changeup with solid depth.
The Bad: Delgado's curveball could use more spin, and he rarely threw it while in the big leagues. He's a bit of a pie-thrower who can be guilty of pushing his pitches at times.
Ephemera: Delgado should love interleague games in American League parks, as he's 2-for-41 at the plate in his career.
Perfect World Projection: Number-three starter with some star potential.
Fantasy Impact: While he'll never be a top pick, Delagado should have value for his consistency and ability to contribute across all categories.
Path to the Big Leagues: Delgado will join Teheran in the Triple-A rotation, where they will battle with each other to be the first recalled should the need arise.
ETA: Late 2012.

Cubs talking to Dodgers now with talks starting with their #1 prospect Zach Lee. Maybe being greedy, but I'd want a bit more back considering the control trading Garza brings.

And you guys thought I was crazy to say they'll be .500 next year?


They might win 150 games

I know nothing about Randall Delgado but I already love this trade. Back up the moving truck and get rid of Garza and Maholm next

Ryan Dempster isn't an Atlanta Brave...yet. CSNChicago.com, Baseball Prospectus' Kevin Goldstein & Ryan's Dempsterfoundation.org Web site are now reporting there's no Dempster deal...yet. Stay tuned.

Apparantly the hang up is a clause in his contract where he refuses to wear STUPID ASS super hero costumes!!

I saw that late last night on NBC5's "Sports Sunday". Laurence Holmes' expression? Priceless.

This would be an all-time misreport. It's on Cubs.com, MLB.com, everywhere.

Actually, it's Roberto Hernandez. Wait a minute...He pitched for the White Sox! What the hell is going on here?

Now, Joe Sheehan is Tweeting the Dempster to Atlanta deal is off.
