Roster Update

Cintron was released and Cedeno and Fontenot have made the team.

Lahey is expected to go on waivers.

Murton, odd man out with the addition of Reed Johnson, will either be traded or sent down.

The rumored Brian Roberts deal with Baltimore has been pronounced dead. WGN radio today indicated that "trusted sources" say MacPhail was the blockage in getting something done. Essentially that Hendry worked hard to get something done and the deal offered by the Cubs was ample, even to the point that Cub fans may be happier that a deal was not consummated.

I'm happy with DeRosa and despite what some internet comments claim, the season is not over without Roberts.
