Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster has placed a 13-room mansion in Lakeview on the market for $2.25 million. The house came on the market Monday.
Several other Cubs also own places near Wrigley Field. Starting pitcher Ted Lilly paid $2.15 million in 2007 for a six-bedroom house just west of the ballpark, and reliever Jeff Samardzija paid $710,000 early last year for a two-bedroom condo in the Southport corridor.
Former Blackhawks goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, who left the team as a free agent this year and now skates for the Oilers, has rented out his three-bedroom condo in River North for $5,150 per month.
Khabibulin's tenant will have the Cubs' Alfonso Soriano as a neighbor. Through a trust, Soriano paid $2.65 million in late 2006 to purchase a 44th-floor unit in the same building.
