[QUOTE="Slammed, post: 3679865, member: 554316"] Over the weekend, O’s Pres. Andy McPhail told reporters that it is very unlikely that his team will trade LHP Erik Bedard before opening day, reports the Baltimore Sun. According to the report, the Reds will not include top outfield-prospect Jay Bruce in a deal for Bedard, while the Mariners remain unwilling to trade OF Adam Jones or RHP Brandon Morrow. …as i wrote during the Winter Meetings, the O’s had been shopping bedard in hopes of getting back a very specific set of talent, and would just as soon start the season with him now, allowing more time to try and work on a contract extension, than trade him just to trade him for parts and pieces…my sense that when the Dodgers signed Hiroki Kuroda, and refused to trade Matt Kemp or Jonathan Broxton, bedard was essentially off the table… The Mets had offered Aaron Heilman, Carlos Gomez and Philip Humber to the O’s for Bedard during early December, according to ESPN.com and MLB.com, among others, but it was rejected.
