Dempster has been with the Cubs as both a starting pitcher and a reliever, earning All-Star nods in 2007 and 2008.

He also spent the 2003 season with the Cincinnati Reds before arriving in Chicago. Dempster is originally from British Columbia. He signed a four-year deal worth a reported $52 million with the Cubs following the 2008 season.
