ESPN.com: Bedard -> Dodgers may be close

[Mephistopheles]

The Orioles and Dodgers may be close on a deal that will send left-hander Erik Bedard to Los Angeles, a baseball source said. The O's are in need of a center fielder and a closer who can play at the major league level, and the Dogders seem willing to part with outfielder Matt Kemp and reliever Jonathan Broxton, who could come in a close in lieu of Chris Ray, out for the year after Tommy John surgery. "They want Bedard bad," said the source.

If something like Marmol/Pie/Gallagher could get Bedard, that would be amazing. I would really like Bedard to be on the Cubs.

Marmol, Pie and a side dish (maybe Patterson, Gallagher, Colvin?) Edited December 4, 2007 by pitchcs

It won't. Do not be surprised if Kershaw is included on this deal.

I don't understand why a team trading a cheap young starter, who has no other cheap young starters, would make a trade and get no young cheap starters.

Because its GM is Andy MacPhail?
