News from Rotoworld:

Adam Jones is flying to Baltimore for a physical on Monday, suggesting the Orioles and Mariners have agreed to an Erik Bedard trade.

Jones said he’s been told the deal is done, though he doesn’t know who is going with him to Baltimore. Asked by the Seattle Times tonight, George Sherrill said he had heard nothing to suggest he’s being included. Top prospects Chris Tillman, Jeff Clement, Carlos Triunfel and Wladimir Balentien are among the players whose names have come up in rumors.

It looks official. Bedard is a Mariner! Check out Bakers blog.

Putz got more than 3 outs 7 times before the break, and 5 times afterwards. 12 appearances out of 69 is not that huge. He never got 6 outs or more.

So no.

If Moreno wants to be the one to overtrade for Bedard and a year or two of his six-inning-wonder starts, let him, I say. Hopefully, it’ll wind up putting a dent in the Angels’ future instead while we’ll still have AJ in right.

I agree with Ralph_Malph. The problem was the way Hargrove “churned” the bullpen once he was forced to pull the plug on Weaver and HoRam. Did anyone not have an ulcer by the All-Star break from all of Putz’s two inning saves?

Seriously, there’s no point in even reading the local newspaper forums, let alone reposting anything you find there. Joe Random can (and will) write any stupid-ass thing he wants. This is qualifies as “information” about the M’s in about the same way graffiti in public bathrooms qualifies as “information” about women.

And another “source” claims that the Angels are trading for Bedard so that the Ms won’t get him.
“I just received new information from my Orioles front office contact. Brandon Wood, Kendry Morales, Erick Aybar, Joe Saunders, and Juan Rivera will be going to Baltimore for Erik Bedard. I was told LAA didn’t want Bedard going to the Mariners. Moreno didn’t want the risk of not making the playoffs. The Orioles are very happy with this package. The Mariners are shocked at the latest development.”

Well, if you want to deal in unsubstantiated rumors, the Boston Globe claims

major league sources are still indicating that the Cubs are listening to talk about a blockbuster deal that would send Baltimore ace Erik Bedard and second baseman Brian Roberts to Chicago for a truckload of younger players/prospects.

It probably doesn’t mean anything, but [doesn't mean anything]

... and Jerry Brewer chimes in, springing from the Hargrove bullpen use comment (using the phrase ' rambunctiously gabby' to describe Norm's session)
