A Very Strong Possible Holdup For The Brian Roberts Deal


I have heard a very valid pint of a potential holdup for the Brian Roberts deal:

The reason for the Roberts trade being on the hinges is because if the Orioles acquire Roberts they may also send newly acquired (from the Mariners) George Sherrill along with Roberts. This may be the reason why the Cubs are offering both Pie and Gallagher in the trade. It really makes a lot of sense.

My take: Cubs fans just pray that Orioles owner Peter Angelos (who knows very little about baseball) nixes the Bedard deal. If that deal happens we get Roberts and a pitcher with a very high potential. Fingers crossed.
