I heard the "Scott and Anita" show this afternoon in my car while driving home this evening and I was quite surprised by what heard from Brian Roberts. It sounds like he will be giving the Orioles an ample chance to keep him -- assuming the price is right -- in their uniform. I'm sure he does ...

If the Orioles fail to covet Mark Teixiera, it is possible they would pursue Paul Konerko. The White Sox are in the market for an infielder and could target either Brian Roberts or Melvin Mora in a trade. The Orioles pursued Konerko back in 2005 before he resigned with the White Sox, so it is possible they would make the move again. He has two years left on his contract that will...

MASN Sports is reporting that the White Sox and Orioles are discussing a trade that would send Brian Roberts to the White Sox for Gavin Floyd. Floyd, who went 17-8 with a 3.84 ERA in thirty-three starts for the White Sox, has the makings of a top of the rotation starter. His numbers did fluctuate some towards the end of the season, but nothing that raised a red flag. The Orioles...
