All Parties Expect Roberts At Wrigley

Brian Roberts is working out with the Orioles, but nobody expects him to remain in the orange and black, according to a report in the Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore has been engaged with trade talks surrounding Roberts for two months now.

Ronny Cedeno, Sean Gallagher and a third player are expected to be dealt to the Orioles in return for the second baseman.

The Orioles have dispatched a scout to Mesa in order to take a look at who the club might want.

"I don't really think much about it anymore," Roberts said. "I know a little bit about the situation, and I'll cross that bridge when I come to it."
