The Cubs have been asking the Rangers about Marlon Byrd, MLB.com reports. If Texas could pick up Sean Marshall or Sean Gallagher for Byrd, we imagine GM Jon Daniels would make the move in a heartbeat. The Cubs, though, may be offering someone like Jason Marquis or Ryan Dempster. The Rangers have Byrd penciled in as their right fielder, but since they're not going to win anything this year, they shouldn't hesitate to move him and go with some combination of David Murphy, Nelson Cruz and Jason Botts initially.
