<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Cubs Step Up Pursuit Of Marlon Byrd
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [December 15, 2009 at 1:06pm CST]
The Cubs are pursuing Marlon Byrd more intensely, now that Mike Cameron is off the market, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. The Cubs, who wanted Cameron, are still trying to gain payroll flexibility by trading Milton Bradley and at least some of the $21MM he'll make before the end of the 2011 season.
The Rangers stand to gain a supplementary round selection if Byrd signs with another team (though Byrd won't cost the Cubs or anyone else a pick).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
