Phil Rogers a columnist in Chicago keeps writing that the Orioles and Cubs are still talking trade ideas for Brian Roberts and Erik Bedard.  We don’t know how true it is as it seems he is the only writing in Chicago that is still writing about it.

Rogers says that it could be a seven for two player trade.  The rumor before was that the Cubs would be sending Sean Marshall, Sean Gallagher, Ronny Cedeno, Rich Hill, Felix Pie, and two minor league players would be headed to the Orioles for Bedard and Roberts.  If I’m the Orioles I do that deal for these reasons.

1.  Felix Pie is a possible 5 tool hitter if he can learn to cut down on the strikeouts.
2.  Rich Hill is a possible #2 starter in most rotations around the league.
3.  Sean Marshall has showed he can pitch at the big league level.
4.  Ronny Cedeno and Sean Gallagher are pretty good themselves.
5.  The Orioles aren’t going to keep Bedard or Roberts much longer, so why not get something in return?
