Orioles Asked For Ceda In Roberts Deal
According to Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune, the Orioles asked the Cubs for 21 year-old righty Jose Ceda as part of a Brian Roberts deal at some point this winter. However, Ceda is untouchable for Jim Hendry.
Ceda is a large righty swiped from Kevin Towers for Todd Walker at the '06 trade deadline. Baseball America ranks him fourth among Cubs prospects, first among pitchers. When Ceda switched to relief in July, he threw 23 hitless innings in A ball. His fastball and slider are of Major League quality and Lou Piniella has noted that he could make the jump from A ball to the bigs.
Andy MacPhail said yesterday that he didn't expect to trade Roberts before the Orioles' Spring Training reporting date next week.
