Roberts deal nixed to Cubs

O's nix big swap with Cubs
Brian Roberts Orioles Interested: CubsOrioles owner Peter Angelos killed a 7-for-2 trade that would have sent second baseman Brian Roberts and left-handed pitcher Erik Bedard to the Cubs, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
"I don't think we're going to do anything, to be honest with you," Cubs manager Lou Piniella told the newspaper when asked about trading for an infielder. "If we do, it'll be in the outfield. ? It would be a right-handed bat to help out in center field. I would think that's probably a possibility, as opposed to the other things you all have been hearing about."
The Cubs reportedly are interested in Rangers outfielder Marlon Byrd.

Do the Orioles really need less pitching?
