lee and shoppach for bay, thats it? really? they better be getting adam miller or something here. what a terrible deal for pittsburgh otherwise.
what could the mets possibly give up for bedard... gomez, gonzalez, pelfrey, humber, mulvey... and then if they force them to take on tejada, i cant see them having that much available to do it. that dodgers deal seems a bit far fetched... the best orioles board or not, i have a hard time believing discussion board rumors, especially when the orioles are clearly winning that deal... despite the fact that [most] mlb gms arent stupid and probably already know bedard told them he isnt resigning. a closer (bull broxton), a corner outfielder (kemp), a 3rd baseman (laroche), a replacement shortstop (hu), and a potential ace starter (billingsley)... really? and jay payton has a pitiful pitiful contract, doesnt he?
