Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is saying the San Diego Padres want Matt Murton to play left field. Padres GM Kevin Towers and Jim Hendry get along so maybe something will work out. The Cubs have interest in Marlon Byrd and would need him to lure away Byrd. The Padres on the other hand Khalil Greene's conract expires after the '09 season so if the Padres will give him up the deal has a good chance of being struck. Phil Rogers of the Chcago Trubune says that a 3 way deal with Texas and Baltimore could happen. He says the Cubs would recieve Brian Roberts, Erik Bedard, and Marlon Byrd. Now, Rosenthal thinks Jason Marquis could be shipped to Baltimore in a potential deal with a package of Roberts. This doesn't count out a Roberts/Bedard deal or the 3 way one.
My take: I would like to see the 3 way deal get done so we can have Roberts at 2B, Bedard starting, and probably Byrd starting (Pie would be traded). Then, if we don't have to give up Murton, we might get Greene. Personally I'd rather see DeRosa or Theriot as our starting SS.
