Dempster To Test Open Waters

Free-agent starter Ryan Dempster has informed the Chicago Cubs that he will test the market instead of signing an extension. While there's still a chance he will remain in Chicago (thanks in part to his great relationship with GM Jim Hendry), you must believe that he could get quite the contract elsewhere.

You want a black-horse? The Baltimore Orioles could use the 31-year old atop their rotation and seem to have the money to spend. Dempster went 17-6 with a 2.96 ERA in 206.2 innings this year and was the Cubs' Game 1 starter in the postseason.
