The Orioles and Erik Bedard's agent decided to take a break from talking about a contract extension . This shouldn't be a big deal, since it will be two more seasons before Bedard reaches free agency. Of course, the O's would like to avoid arbitration. Erik might also bring in some youth: The Orioles already have gotten several trade offers for Bedard, who went 13-5 with a 3.16 ERA last season and set a franchise record with 221 strikeouts. They figure to get more next week in Nashville, Tenn., though MacPhail said that the cooling of talks shouldn't be taken as a ...

In addition, word out of Baltimore is that Erik Bedard may become available as well this winter, as contract extension talks between the O's and him have stalled. The Yanks are rumored to be kicking the tires, while there is no mention of the Sox. My instant analysis is that this helps the Yanks and Sox in their negotiations with the Twins.

... the Mets are one of those teams where money isn't as much of an issue, they may be better off signing a marginal free-agent pitcher instead of betting the farm (system) on a trade. The Twins have better offers from the Red Sox and Yankees for Santana, and the loser of that sweepstakes (which could be both teams, should Minnesota back down) could still use the package for Oakland's Dan Haren. The O's will probably hold any team hostage before dealing Erik Bedard (the way the Marlins are in regards to Miguel Cabrera), so as a Mets fan, ...
