Cubs' Talks For Byrd Reach Impasse

The Cubs have been interested in Rangers' center fielder Marlon Byrd for some time now, apparently offering Matt Murton.  However, MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan says the Rangers' insistence on good young pitching in the deal has caused a stalemate.  The Cubs like Byrd, but not at that price.

Evan Grant wrote recently that one of Jason Botts, Nelson Cruz, or David Murphy is likely to be dealt before Opening Day.  A Byrd trade might allow the Rangers to keep all three.
