Orioles: Roberts deal all but dead
Posted: Friday March 28, 2008 07:18AM ET
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.

All but dead?
ALL BUT DEAD!?!?!?!?!?
This rumor was stillborn! I know that FN doesn't write this crap, that they just scour the land for reports, but there HAD to be something else out there this morning....ANYTHING else.

Report Offensive CommentMan- this has got to be the worst news day in MLB history, article about the Yankees, article about Barriod Bonds, a team looking for pitching, AND now the Roberts "deal dead?" This has been going on longer than it took to deal Johans **** earlier in the season...

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

Report Offensive CommentIf 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.

Report Offensive CommentThat'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.
