Dempster is Back
Its official. There was a lot of talk this morning a deal was close. The deal is 4 yrs $52 million. This is a very solid deal for the Cubs. Early on, some were saying Demp was expecting a 5 year deal, which would be nuts. Ideally this was only a 3 year deal, but in this day in age, that is fairly unrealistic.
He may never put up a sub-3 era again, but if Dempster puts up 4 years with 180-200 ip and an era in the 3.5 or a little higher range, this was a very good deal.

Im also pretty sure that this contract is backloaded. and that there is a player option on the last year, for a ridiculous 14 million. 0 percent chance he declines that.
It way too much for a guy without a track record but what are ya gonna do?
