Im hearing the reason that there is a hold up is Angelos. My source didnt say what he is doing, but its because Angelos is in the middle of things. Plus Jones is back in Phoenix. I guess he is waiting for a phone call. An Bedard has yet to take his physical. We thought he would over the weekend, but some reason he is still in Canada. Ill have more soon.

Take it with a grain of salt.

The longer this drags on, the more I think Peace's contact could be right.

Why do I have the feeling that Angelos is involved and trying to negotiate an extension with Bedard?

Again...I know there's no information coming out, but it sure seems like a deal that was struck 10 days ago should be completed unless there was something else going on.

-----------------------------------

Angelos is definitely interfering; that s/b perfectly obvious by now, even to the rose-colored glasses set. Perhaps he thinks he can insert himeslf into the mddle of this, stall the deal and force more out of Seattle. This is the kind of stupid gamesmanship he's famous for.

And if he ruins things, so what? He'll simply tell himself that the Mariners were being unreasonable and that he was heroically trying to protect the Orioles and the fans of Baltimore by getting "value" back for Bedard.Then we'll hear all kids of fanciful BS about how the Club wants to negotiate a long-term deal. Of course that will never happen either because Angelos will lowball the guy, and nothing will ever get done.

I honestly think this deal could soon be dead if it isn't dead already.I think the only reason Seattle hasn't told Baltimore to drop dead is because they really want Bedard.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if your scenario played out. However, I think the hold up was the legal language that needed to be added to the trade paperwork since Adam Jones started talking. It shouldn't have taken this long to get worked out, but this is Angelos we're talking about. It probably takes him a half day to place a carry out order.
