Baltimore Sun: [Brian] Roberts shrugs off latest news

Roberts said he spoke to MacPhail for two minutes on Wednesday and was told it was highly unlikely he would be dealt. Later in the day, MacPhail told reporters the closer the Orioles got to Monday’s opener, the less likely Roberts was going to be traded.

[Manager Dave] Trembley took most of the responsibility for the shoddy outfield play in Wednesday’s loss, which include two dropped fly balls. “That’s my fault, because I had the wrong guys out there,” he said. “I won’t have the wrong guys out there the next time. You have to be able to make the routine plays. If you can’t make the routine plays, it’s the big leagues, you shouldn’t be out there. I don’t mean to be disrespectful to anybody, but come on, it’s late in the spring, and when things like that happen, that’s not acceptable.”
