Bedard to Mariners

Erik Bedard has finally been traded to the Seattle Mariners, in exchange for 5 prospects. At least one of them will be starting on Opening Day. But that's not saying much for a team who traded away their only two "names" this off season. Of course, Miguel Tejada may have drawn unwanted attention to Baltimore. Still, some argue an everyday player vs. a starting pitcher is better...to some degree.

What's amazing about this is maybe Peter Angelos is trying to "out-Angelos" and "out-Snyder" Dan Snyder. As Q mentioned in his post a couple of weeks ago, Snyder is morphing into Angelos. Apparently the Empire Strikes Back as Angelos has now resorted to 2 weeks of talk before the trade occurs. His timing rivals Snyders amount of time spent jerking around Head Coach candidates.

Ahh, just what we need, another DC-Baltimore fight.
