According to MASN Sports, the Orioles and White Sox have discussed a trade involving Brian Roberts and Gavin Floyd. Selling high on Floyd wouldn’t be a bad move for the White Sox, but it would leave them with just two established starters in Mark Buerhle and John Danks. They’d have to spend quite a lot to land another, making a Roberts acquisition an especially expensive proposition.

The Orioles want Gavin Floyd and more from the White Sox in return for Brian Roberts, according to SI.com’s Jon Heyman. It’s not clear that Floyd was even on the table in the first place. Talks have stalled for now, Heyman says. GM Ken Williams told the Chicago media that he hasn’t even spoken with the Orioles since November. However, most don’t seem to believe him.

If Roberts is traded, I want him in Chicago… but in Cubs blue. I live 2 blocks from Wrigley and a scary train ride to the Southside from the Cell.
