Didn't think they were gonna get any deal done....

ARLINGTON -- The Rangers acquired pitcher Ryan Dempster from the Cubs at Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline for two Minor League players.
The Rangers agreed to send Class A third baseman Christian Villaneuva and pitcher Kyle Hendricks to the Cubs in return. Dempster had been scheduled to pitch on Tuesday night for the Cubs.
Dempster had been rumored for several days to be headed for the Dodgers and was reported to be unwilling to waive his 10-and-5 no-trade veto rights to go anywhere else. But the Cubs and Dodgers were unable to work out a deal and Dempster agreed to join Texas on Tuesday.
Dempster is 5-5 with a 2.25 ERA in 16 starts for the Cubs this season. He was on the disabled list from June 18 to July 8 with tightness in the lat muscle in his right rib cage. He is 2-2 with a 2.74 ERA in four starts since returning.
Dempster was originally drafted by the Rangers in the third round of the 1995 First-Year Player Draft. The Rangers traded him in 1996 to the Marlins for pitcher John Burkett. Villaneuva was hitting .285 with 10 home runs and 59 RBIs in 100 games at Class A Myrtle Beach. Hendricks was 5-8 with a 2.82 ERA in 20 starts for Myrtle Beach.
