According to Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune Ryan Dempster would greet Milton Bradley with open arms. Here's what he had to say "Good player, man, and everything I hear from guys he played with is good," he said. "I know he has that reputation of being a hothead, but you hear from guys who played with him, and they all say he's a great teammate. Obviously, he'll bring a pretty powerful dynamic to our lineup." Ryan wasn't surprised that they traded Derosa , since they have been talking about him for 2 years know. But the Cubs have have let go/traded 2 of his good friends in Kerry Wood and Mark Derosa.
Dempster also said that the rotation should be fine with or without Peavy. But also said "You never know what can happen between now and spring training" he said. "We've got a lot of depth, especially with a guy like Marshall who has really gone unnoticed. He's done a good job stepping in to pitch long relief, short relief or whatever they need. Whoever it is will do a good job."
If anything breaks out, or if any rumors pop out i'll keep you posted.
