Brian Roberts to the Chicago Cubs heating up once again
Submitted by Cliff on Monday, 3 March 2008 4 Comments
Talks are getting very serious again between the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles as the two teams try to work out a deal for Brian Roberts and possibly Jay Payton.
Roberts and Payton would be sent to Chicago for a package deal of Sean Marshall, Sean Gallagher, Ronny Cedeno and Matt Murton possibly. Â I’d rather keep Marshall or Gallagher and throw in Jason Marquis into the deal but I don’t know if they Orioles would want to take on his contract.
Payton would be that right handed hitting outfielder that can play multiple positions that Cubs have been looking for, and they could finally land Roberts as well. Â What do you think Cubs fans? Do you think this deal will get done?
Hey,
I love the web site. Go cubs go!
I am the webdesigner for Kosukefukudome.org, at Fukudome fan site. I was wondering if you would like to exchange links?
Let me know what you think?
Thanks,

I don’t like Payton being in the mix. I think Roberts would make a HUGE impact with this team. This is one F U N N Y video Cub fans check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI2KQmrsvI0
LOL I love that YouTube Video! Very nice
The young players being offered for Brian Roberts are way too much and this is a trade better spoken about but never completed. We also do not need another right handed hitting outfielder as we have an overflow of right handed hitters now. We draft nd train these young players to help the Cubs win and then we give them away for a nobody with a big name.
