Rosenthal Reporting Bedard Deal is Official

[Why Not?]

Rosenthal proclaims it official, but provides nothing more than the anonymous reports we've heard for two weeks. Um, Kenny, it's NOT official.

The thread title 'At Last' is incredibly appropriate. It reminds me of a wedding, when the band plays 'At Last' to end the evening. Great background music when everyone left at the reception is worn out, jubilant, and wasted.

Like I said, if he had said what the O's roster move was, then I'd believe it.

uh yeah. Did you catch last night's loss in the same mold as the Georgetown loss? Both on buzzer beater 3's? We cant shoot from the charity stripe this year

Yeah, our guys just can't seem to catch a break this year.

I just hope they didn't rush this deal.

Congrats, that is the best line in the last 2 weeks. Very funny. Nice post.

Because we're so blown away by what we got in this trade?

You're not?

You may not be now, but just give it a few years and you will realize how good this trade really is. Jones and Sherrill will really be the only immediate impact, but Tillman and Butler are two really good pitching prospects and Mickolio could be a late inning force.

Looks like taking your time doing the physicals. Curt Schilling and his arm were thought to be 100% but I guess the Red Sox doctors missed that somewhere in there eximination and look at the money there giving him. Maybe it isn't a bad thing to give a complete thurough phsyical

This is a haul, Old Bay.

I'm thankful we have someone in here who's permitted to rebuild this franchise properly.

It is quite possible that someone from Seattle leaked it to Rosenthal as a slap at Angelos. Kenny may be the reporter that Angelos hates the most (unless you count Nestor as a reporter). Angelos once refered to Rosenthal as am "insolent little twit" when he was with the Sun.

Lay off my man Belkast. The O's made an excellent trade here. People in the media are even saying that.

I highly doubt that KR would announce the deal done, if all he was going off of were reports we've all heard this week. He's well connected and won't reveal his source of information. I would imagine that the rest of the media will slowly start running similar stories as the day rolls on.

A potential All-Star centerfielder, a left-handed closer (that we can spin for a couple of players at the deadline), a couple of B-rated pitching prospects, and a throw-in reliever? Personally, I couldn't be happier.

I guess you are referring to the corresponding 40 man roster move. That can sometimes take up to two days to be announced.
