Buoyed by the internet rumors dogging him all winter, second baseman Brian Roberts showed up in Tucson for the Cubs' game against the D-Backs on Wednesday in full Chicago Cubs uniform.

 

He said, “I think I was traded to the Cubs yesterday.  Or maybe not.  Either way, it’s inevitable so I figured I might as well get started.” 

 

Cubs GM Jim Hendry was both excited to see Roberts yet perplexed as to who he’d send over to the Orioles' camp in return.

 

“I don’t know how this happened or who I may have traded, but I’d better act quickly before they realize what has happened,” Hendry said.

 

Soon after, Hendry was seen sending Eric Patterson and Sean Gallagher on a bus to the Orioles' camp.

 

Later in the day, Hendry was seen sneaking around Red Sox camp talking to Coco Crisp, though no one knows for sure what that was about.
