| March 25, 2008 Marlon Byrd could be on the Cubs' radar, according to Dallas News. Cubs GM Jim Hendry Hendry reportedly insists that he won't surrender a top pitching prospect in addition to outfielder Matt Murton for Byrd.

| February 18, 2008 Marlon Byrd looks like he will stay in Texas despite on going talks that he might end up being moved to the Cubs, this according to a report on MLB.com. The Cubs want to trade Matt Murton in a 1-for-1 deal for Byrd, but the Rangers want the Cubs to throw in some quality arms in any deal, the reason that nothing has gotten done up to this point. Byrd certainly had a solid season (.307-10-70), but he just .269 over his last 69 games last season andhas yet to really establish himself. Murton hit .281 with eight HR last season in 235 AB, and owns a career line of .296/.365/.455/.820 in 830 career AB and would seem to be the player with the higher upside here. |
| January 16, 2008 The Rangers signed Marlon Byrd to a one-year contract Wednesday, avoiding arbitration. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Byrd had a nice year for Texas in '07, hitting .307 with 10 homers and 70 RBI, and he should get some playing time against lefties this season. |
