The Cubs held onto center fielder Marlon Byrd at the trade deadline because they believe he'll be part of the future. However, Byrd doesn't appear to share the same belief. "It's a business," Byrd said. "I want them to do what's best for the organization. If it's best for the organization to move me and bring back another piece because of my trade value, then (do it). But if they're just trying to get rid of me and get nothing back, I don't see that helping the organization." Byrd will earn $6.5 million in 2012, the final of a three-year, $15 million deal. Also, Brett Jackson is on the rise in the Chicago organization. "It gets frustrating," Byrd said. "When you know you're a better team, when you know you're a better player than the way you've been playing ... it hurts. When we don't get a runner on third in with less than two outs, there's no reason. At the same time, ... it's one of those things you've got to learn, adjust and get better."
