Possible Roberts For Floyd Deal?

[love_that_reefer]

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.

It would be a good move for the O's but can't see this happening. The O's have turned down a lot better for Roberts and the White Sox need Floyd.

My first thought was Brian Roberts for Cliff Floyd...why the hell would the O's trade so cheap in division?

But, I mean, I can see why the Orioles would do this, but I can't see enough reason for the Sox to sell Floyd when their rotation isn't deep enough to take that hit...

Cliff is a free agent. A return to the Mets?

Haha, no interest. They're looking for a right handed hitter. Hence why I don't entirely get ignoring Manny...

I would think that Gavin Floyd would be more valuable to the Sox than Roberts would be. As was said, their rotation is not deep enough to take this sort of hit.
