Byrd for Strasburg.
Rumor isn't exactly picking up steam. Maybe tomorrow.
Get 'er done!

Welp...bye.
package him for fielder or pujols.
We'll even throw in Byrd's full salary.Originally Posted by DewsSox79
I stand by my earlier statements about the situation that things are unlikely to develop since teams are unlikely to give up much at this point in the year. I could definitely see Byrd moving closer to the deadline though. The rumor says 2 NL teams are interested. I am guessing that one is the Nationals, but I am curious who the other one might be. The Braves were supposedly interested in Byrd last year. Either way I doubt much happens prior to opening day despite Jed Hoyer's comments about not being surprised a move happening.
you guys haven't heard.....?
If you're going to make the reference at least do this...

I didn't wanna post it
Rosenthal:
That's the smart money approach. The "surprise" trade possibility is still there.At this point a trade involving Cubs center fielder Marlon Byrd is unlikely. The 34-year-old has been drawing some interest this spring, but a trade in July seems more realistic.
The Cubs will be able to get something pretty good from ATL in July, assuming the Braves are still in it...
I've heard Wells is more likely to be traded.
Heard from where if you don't mind me asking? I could buy that just curious what the source was.
A trade is unlikely at this point, and I would be surprised if Byrd wasn't the opening day starter in center. But if some team wants to offer something good for Byrd now I am sure Theo and Jed would jump on it.
I might have read it from a Bleacher Nation article but I don't recall if he has a source in there. BN isn't one to blow steam up your tail though.
Yeah I checked bleachernation for the first time today after posting that, and saw a similar comment there citing a Bruce Levine chat I believe. And I agree about BN. It has fast become one of my favorite Cubs blogs.
I hope this is true. There's becoming less and less of a need for him.
Signatures are overrated.
They can take nwfisch for their bench, it will be better than the Miami Heat bench.

i love Byrd to death... plays hard as hell & is old-school. however, he's 35 & itd fit Theo's scheme of getting younger prospects to patch of Hendry's fuck ups when it comes to our farm system.
I think we all agree that Byrd should be moved. I think the only question is when would we get the most for Byrd. I think it is less likely to be now as it would be closer to the deadline. I don't think we will ever know for certain the answer to that question, but I trust the guys making that call.
