I'll continue to give the benefit of the doubt to the professional baseball men putting this deal together, but there better be a really good reason it's taking us an hour-and-a-half to watch 60 Minutes, so to speak.

Too bad we'll probably never learn all the twists, turns & intrigue.

Maybe no deal before Wednesday:

http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/baseball/archives/131010.asp?from=blog_last3

Bedard, still at home outside Ottawa and still unsure of where he's going to be pitching this year, told an associate that as of 1:30 p.m. (PDT) Monday, he hasn't been told anything official about a trade.

He certainly hasn't undergone a physical exam, which would be mandatory from the Mariners' point of view for a trade to go down. He finished the 2007 on the 60-day disabled list after suffering a late-August right oblique injury.

So it seems likely that it's unlikely the Mariners and Orioles can finalize a deal before Wednesday.

What really makes no sense is that during this whole time the deal itself in discussion hasn't changed much at all. So either one side can't decide what they want, or there is a true injury question mark, or there is a big discussion about who will be included still going on that we know pretty much nothing about (since the rumors we have seen haven't changed much).

another club source indicated Monday that the team is planning for the upcoming season with the assumption the trade would be completed.

That is actually really encouraging. If Andy MacPhail is not denying that a trade is getting closer and him saying he would notify the media when something happens, that only leads me to believe that he is confident that trade is going to happen. Why else would they prepare for the season as if the trade is going to happen? I know we all are anxious for something to happen, and tired of all this speculation, but we can wait a couple more days. All the signs are leading to a deal being done very shortly.

This is ridiculous. Who in their right mind would want to trade with us... It's been like 2 weeks since Jones opened his mouth' date=' right?[/quote']

Amen, I'm all for the Bedard trade to Seattle, but I sure hope we never have to trade with you guys again...this has been brutal!!!

Is it the M's policy not to announce trades until a physical is completed? Perhaps the O's wanted to get their physicals out of the way and the trade will be announced tomorrow pending EB's physical.

This makes sense if they do have concerns with Jones. If he fails, EB doesn't make a needless trip out to Seattle.

      And he was flashing some wheels too, stretching into a 2B and also cutting off balls in the field, making competitive throws trying to get runners.

      Agreed they were one reliever short I thought even with Baumann(even though I don’t trust him much), now with Viera they are 2 guys short.  That was a downgrade though they must think they can get him fixed enough to have him help out later on.  Perez has pitched well so that is a big help but still another guy is needed for times like today.  I do think they might add Lopez if they can claim him on waivers who is better option then Viera imo.

      I have no problem going reliever at #22 if he profiles as a dominant reliever.  Sounds like Massey can be gotten later but I’d have no problem going for Brody Brecht with one of those first two picks.  Again, I prefer Gillen or Lindsey at #22.  Be great if we could get one at #22 and the other at #32.        Who do you consider high upside that might be there at #32?

      Looking for bright spots from today’s game, Hays hit three balls on the screws, 102, 104 and 106, two of which went for hits.  His BA is creeping towards the Mendoza line, now at .190. He’s hitting .294 since coming off the IL.

      At this point, after seeing this game and about 3 other games lost this year, I have come around to the fact that the O's are going to have to trade for a shut down 7th and 8th inning guy.   I think that is all they need. But for now they are that ONE guy short of having a BP that can win a WS this year.

      How is Elias' "Elite Talent Pipeline"?

      By emmett16 · Posted

      If Basallo goes off in the second half we have an outside shot for 4 #1 prospects 4 years in a row.  I’d say that’s elite.  The Latin players he signed in his first year are now 19 & 20 and just getting into full-season ball.  They have also hit on a lot of trades (Brandish, Cano, Povich, McDermott) and will continue to supplement the pipeline through additional trades.  Etzel, Fabian, EBJ, Horvath could all turn the dial up a notch or 2 and become big time prospects.
