Rosenthal reports that Bedard trade talks have slowed

[freelancer]

So PA allows him to make one trade with autonomy and now MacPhail's freedom is pulled back? Geez, things will never change with the unfathomable stupidity of the jerk with all the money. Pete's an idiot.

We needs to get these deals done. Either were rebuilding or were pretending. Either way, the current team will be lucky to win 68 games or so. And, we all know how we feel about watching the kids play. That is what we want as a fanbase. I think it would truely rejuvenate us, the fanbase.

1. McPhail is taking a Nap.

2. Flannys new job functions include typing the paperwork up.

3. PA is busy suing someone.

That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Rep points to you!

I think Angelos would rather give Roberts a ridiculous extension than trade him.

That would be his way....retains status quo, might help get us back to being medIocre at best. Typical Angelos.

[Hank Scorpio]

Why do you think this is true? Does PA not think we are getting enough back or does he just not want to trade our admitted little steroid user?

The point is that it shouldn't matter what he thinks. We have heard from AM and everyone who knows anyone on this board that Angelos has faith in AM and trusts him to fix the ballclub.

I'm going to wait for this play out, but if he F's this up, it's going to be hard to an Orioles fan. (Not that it's not already hard).

[ChaosLex]

So, anyone.....how does this work: does A) AM call PA every time he's about to do something OR B) does PGA hear that Roberts is about to go and calls AM cold?

I hope it's not A because I thought PGA was no longer a control gate. If it's B, why doesn't AM pat PGA on the head, says "it'll be fine", and then makes the deal anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised if warehouse employees have to call Angelos before they use the restroom.

/half joking

Sad thing is the players hardly ever get a chance to meet Angelos

Why would they want to meet him?

Peace...is your guys tone telling you that PA is going to torpedo the deals or is that the average O's fans skepticism?

I'd count this as a "blessing" (for the players).

Peace if we don't trade Roberts, we will still trade Bedard correct?

The funny thing is, he didn't want Marcus Giles because he was a steroid user.

Funny that the steroid stuff matters except for his little pet.

What a f'ing joke.

All this stuff about AM being able to do what he wants is just garbage I guess.

So nothing has really changed. So what if he allowed Miggy to be traded. It saves him $26mm and no doubt he knew that Miggy was in deep on the Mitchell report. But God forbid his newest puppet actually want to make a deal involving a fan favorite, that may improve his club in the future and he stonewalls it. Or forces the puppet to ask for the moon for his player. I actually thought this puppet was given control. This sucks... Time to plan a golf trip to take my mind off of this friggin' mess.

But Roberts has. He talked to him on the phone this weekend. And he wants to go to a winner, right? Could he make this happen if he wanted it to? Does he want it to?

But once they do, he looooooooooves them.

How can such a successful lawyer be so detrimentally sentimental???
