Holding out for a three-year contract, Ryan Dempster turned down a two-year,
$26 million deal from the Royals, according to the Kansas City Star’s Bob
Dutton.
Dempster asked the Royals to go to three years, but that appears to be a deal
breaker for Kansas City.
Besides Kansas City, Boston and Milwaukee appear to be the prime suitors for
Dempster. The Red Sox have already handed out a pair of three-year, $39
million contracts to Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino, so what’s one more?
The Angels were also interested in Dempster, but they’ve backed away now,
says CBSSports.com’s Jon Heyman.
Dempster went 5-5 with a 2.25 ERA in 16 starts for the Cubs and 7-3 with a
5.09 ERA in 12 starts for the Rangers last season. While the latter mark doesn
’t speak well of his ability to pitch in the AL, he did have a 70/25 K/BB
ratio in 69 innings with Texas.
