Yes, I agree that getting Bedard would be great, but I am just wondering why the O's would even think about trading him. I mean, he is only 28 years old, throws left-handed, and leading the majors in strikeouts. I know the O's are not and will not be in the hunt at the end, but why would they trade away a valuable part of their future? I don't understand why people think that just because a team is out of the race, they would be open to trading their best players. If that is the case, why don't we go after players like Ian Snell, Shawn Marcum, Aaron Harang, Tim Lincecum, Noah Lowry, Matt Cain, Roy Oswalt, Adam Wainright, and the list can go on and on. Just because a team is out, doesn't mean they automatically are willing to deal their best player(s). I do agree that it would take alot to get him. Like the other post said, I would have to think that a deal would have to start with one of our top prospects, like Braun or Gallardo.
