Geoff Baker in Seattle notes that the Orioles may end up with Erik Bedard:
This story in the Baltimore Sun indicates that Bedard is at the top of the Baltimore Orioles’ wish list. How big a coup would that be for O’s president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail? Not only does he get to reap the continued rewards of the five players he recieved from Seattle, but then gets to have Bedard back as well just when his rebuilding team is poised to make a climb up the standings? Sounds good to me. Given what went down two years ago in the two weeks before Bedard’s trade to Seattle, I’m sure MacPhail will do all the medical due dilligence humanly possible on Bedard. But MacPhail indicates in the story that he is willing to take a risk this winter on a high upside guy. Stay tuned.
The Orioles actually did the same thing with Sidney Ponson a few years ago. That didn’t work out too well.
