Oh for the love of Pete....

What a confusing thread title.

I guess thats why they deny the trades....until Angelos gives his approval no sense in confirming anything.

Don't screw this up, Pete!!!

I don't think there's anything to this, but until he proves otherwise, the rest of the league and media are going to believe that Angelos is a major obstacle. I'm not concerned about it at all though.

[ChaosLex]

He better.

If not, I'm done with this team.

[Flip217]

Well, to answer your question, No, Angelos hasn't signed off on the trade, according to the article.

It also says he doesn't yet know the particulars, and isn't available today to go over it.

So, no "signing off" on anything, I guess.

[JTrea81]

This makes no sense and is probably a bogus report. The source is probably either Ken Rosenthal or Jon Heyman, both Angelos bashers...

[PoorMike]

I don't see why he needs to do anything other than rubber stamp it...which should take no more than 10 minutes.

It's not like he's going to pull up thebaseballcube.com and tell AM that he doesn't like Butler's peripherals.

Of the two, BR is the trade that might not get his aproval, and I think that one goes through too.

The thread title is paraphrased as too how ESPN is titling the story, "Source: Angelos yet to greenlight Bedard trade"

This can't be true! AM has 100% control!

[Camden_yardbird]

The media will always make Angelos a story. I think the presence of AM makes it a lot less likely that Angelos will be a story.

Did you slip ESPN this info?

[itsernst]

i was hoping it was "Angelos signing off...as owner of the Orioles"

Jesus...that ruins my day.

[SilentJames]

This can't be true! AM has 100% control!

Yeah BB - he does, ANgelos still needs to give the final stamp like any other owner would.

He let Miguel go easily, no reason this one won't go either.

This is just piling on by ESPN
