According to Boston Herald. Dempster says physical and family reasons are behind his decision. He says he is not retiring.

Without knowing any of the details of why he made this decision....its a pretty shitty time to do it.

I know he is shape. the guy has been at every physical facility on the northside staying in shape and pretty sure there are some medical issues with his daughter and he is either going through or just finished the messy divorce (Which never finishes if you have kids).

He is in the last year of the 2 year $28 mill deal, so he might have cut a deal with Boston...$5 Mill to go away? was shocked when Boston offered him that money....I think he was too.

I see him coming back to chicago and offering up the blank contract to play here for his final year or two.

Boston just got out of paying 14 million for who was, at best,their fifth starter. I'd be ecstatic.

If you go to the Boston red Sox fans message board, when they signed Demp, I pulled a Goldendomer....No I didnt spam the board, but I said they would be dreading the day they signed the guy.

I honestly think part of him taking no pay, is so he can try and pitch for the cubs at the end of the season, if he feels decent.

You know come late August, it will be like tryouts for 2015 at Wrigley and he will come asking for a chance to throw.

I can sympathize with him as far as the problems with his daughter go but other than that he can fuck off to high heaven. "Great guy" Ryan Dempster. :roll: Don't think the Cibs will need a 38 yr old rag arm pitcher anyway if thats what he's holding out hope for. Hit the bricks pal.

He isnt holding out for that, but I am guessing he wants to live here as it looks like the ex will want to keep the daughter here, and he wants to stay by his daughter. So once he gets his shit together, why not be able to try and pitch for the Cubs.

I am fine with him for the Vet Min contract. Great addition for that if he can add anything.

I am telling you, good guy to have around on a rookie laden squad. I know he is corny and he thinks he is Mr funny, etc, but really good guy for this young team to have around.

I wouldnt even say that about Woody, because he doesnt talk to people. he might know stuff, but he doesnt offer it up so quick. Same thing with Maddux.

Not asking you to like the guy, but good veteran guy for 1.5 years

Pardon me if Im a little Laurence at having a guy who fucked his sick childs nanny while still married instruct my young pitchers. He's a first class fucking dickbag. He can take his knowledge base and suck all the dicks @Belmont and Halsted.

I'm guessing more MLB players have banged their kids nanny than not.

I'm sure his ex is ecstatic that he won't be earning that money (and paying her a share of it).

People quit their jobs all the time to get out of paying exes.

That's the buried lead in all of this.

Is Dempster a good guy? He certainly seems to have done some dickhead things over the past few years. Not criminally dickhead, but not stuff that would endear you to an organization.

Yeah I don't think the whole reneging on that trade deadline deal is going to work in his favor in trying to get back here if thats his plan.

They are baseball players, they fuck anything and everything. Not one guy in that clubhouse will care about that. This isnt Oprah!

I agree thats an issue, but I think it can be mended and it wasnt as bad as advertised between him and Theo. Yes, he didnt believe Theo, it was something that was poorly handled by both and thats why it has repairable plans.

I am not all excited about it, I dont care if it happens, but I think it will and I think it has some benefits.

I don't want the Cubs to bring back Dempster in any fashion. I'd rather see young guys come up than recycling old. Just move on.

If a guy can't bang the woman responsible for raising his children, who can he bang... Maybe if the ostensible mother of his children
could've been arsed to raise her own damn kids, Dempster wouldn't have been so attracted to a woman with a natural maternal instinct.

A divorced guy with mad cash and gobs of free time (even if on the team, he'd only pitch every 5th day or so) is perfect to show the younger players the ins and outs of Chicago's bar and club scene.

'All the Dicks at Belmont and Halsted' sounds like a lost Stephin Merritt song.
