Orioles: Roberts deal all but dead
The Cubs granted nonroster infielder Alex Cintron his unconditional release Wednesday, the same day Orioles president Andy MacPhail declared the Brian Roberts trade talks all but dead. The two are somewhat related. Cubs manager Lou Piniella had told Cintron on Tuesday that he had been beaten out by infielders Ronny Cedeno and Mike Fontenot.

I think the cUbs would make that trade in a second. The fact is they want young guys, but never seemed to figure out which ones they wanted. That sounds like Andy McPhail - probably on a yacht somewhere. he's more of a part-time GM these days

If the Cubs aren't getting Roberts, then go get Felipe Lopez from the Nats...Or stop pisssing off Mark DeRosa and give him back his job.

That's too bad, so sad for the Cubbies, because they really need Roberts at the top of their line-up. The Brewers are better top to bottom, and the Reds are gaining. Cubs won't make the playoffs.
