Rumor: Orioles, White Sox discussing trade involving Gavin Floyd and Brian Roberts
Brian Roberts always seems to be linked to the Chicago Cubs in trade rumors, but White Sox general manager Kenny Williams loves the guy and is trying to acquire him.

Roberts to the Chicago...White Sox?!
Camden Chat —
... Roch is reporting that the Os might be working on a trade with the White Sox for Gavin Floyd and, possibly, another prospect. This is the kind of deal I've been waiting to hear about. Something believable. Much of the Olson to the Cubs for Pie or whomever really didn't make much sense as the Os would be giving up on a young starter who could still turn it around for a failed prospect or two. It just never made sense. Floyd, however, makes perfect sense. With spots in the rotation open, and Floyd a solid #2 or 3, this just ...
Brian Roberts to the South Side?

... Brian Roberts might be playing ball in Chicago next season but for the White Sox and not the Cubs. Roch Kubatko reported on his blog Friday night that the Orioles and White Sox have discussed a deal that would send Gavin Floyd to the Orioles for Brian Roberts. ...

... Last off-season, Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts had to listen to continuous rumors about his pending departure to the Chicago Cubs. Now MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network) reports that Orioles are talking to the Chicago White Sox about Roberts' availability. Gavin Floyd's name has been mentioned, though we don't understand trading a 17-game winner when winning is all about pitching. ...
Money for Nothing
The 35th Street Review —
A new year, a new day and a new feeling of possibility for every man, woman, child and baseball team out there. Perhaps a true centerfielder for a certain club on the South Side of Chicago. Perhaps a proven arm to stabilize the starting rotation. Perhaps even a bit more speed to cancel out the all-or-nothing offense of the past three season.
Or, altrenately, a seemingly stupid swap of a pitcher in the ascendant for an infielder in his walk year.
It’s no secret that Brian Roberts would be a nice addition to the Sox lineup; a lefty bat with speed, slick ...
Don't pay money just to see yourself with Dr. Roberts
Sox Machine —
Don't pay money just to see yourself with Dr. Roberts By popular demand, here's a list of reasons why the trade rumor involving Gavin Floyd and perpetual-Cub-to-be Brian Robert s makes zero sense for either side: [image] Unless the Sox's budgetary concerns were 100 percent posturing on the part of Kenny Williams, I don't see how they could acquire Roberts plus a pitcher unless they traded Jermaine Dye, and at that point you're just playing personnel Wack-a-Mole. On the flip side, why would the Orioles turn it down if they were truly looking at an immediate transition? I know ...
We Need a Pitcher not a Belly-Itcher
Bugs & Cranks —
... I haven’t heard much buzz though about the Sox trying to add another veteran arm to the staff either by trade or free agency. The last trade rumor I read on Sox supersite southsidesox.com had the Sox swapping 17-game winner Gavin Floyd to Baltimore for Brian Roberts. I certainly hope this rumor is nothing more than a fabricated rumor started by a random blogger somewhere. Losing Floyd would suddenly make the Sox rotation resemble that of the Washington Nationals. ...
Kenny Williams Knows Not The Difference Between Bloggers And The 'Real' Media
Foul Balls —
... . You know, that blog that goes through all the trouble of printing a pamphlet tabloid newspaper every day. Brian Roberts for Gavin Floyd? That was a blog with its own television station in Baltimore known as MASN . That Homer Bailey for Jermaine Dye trade that wasn't reported as a rumor but as an actual trade that had been completed? That came courtesy of ...
