According to Bruce Levine of ESPN Chicago, the Dodgers have made a trade proposal to the Cubs for right-hander Ryan Dempster.
It's not clear which players the Dodgers have offered or whether a deal is close. However, the Cubs acquired Justin Germano from the Red Sox on Thursday and have Casey Coleman traveling to St. Louis to join the club on Friday, so they have some insurance in place in case Dempster is traded. The veteran right-hander has drawn interest from several teams, including the Braves and Tigers.
