Chance decreasing for Bedard trade
The chances Erik Bedard will be traded soon by the Mariners are now as slim as the prospects for a happy finish to Seattle's lost season. Manager Jim Riggleman said Thursday his ailing ace, rumored to be coveted by contenders despite a demonstrated inability to last in his 15 starts, likely will not pitch early next week against Boston as originally hoped. That means Bedard would have just one start before the non-waiver trading deadline July 31 -- assuming the left-hander's pitching shoulder is healthy again by then. Major league rules prohibit teams from trading players while they are on the disabled list, unless such a deal is expressly approved by the commissioner.

If his next start is okay, Seattle better be putting out the blue light special. I remember just a few months back, this guy was being mentioned in the same breath as Sabathia, Beckett, Santana, those types of guys. Now... Seattle will be lucky to get a really good AAA prospect for him.

If I were Seattle, I'd just keep him rather than give him away. He's still young enough to come back with a strong year next year, and if he does that, they could get more for him.

Just look at the interest Bedard generated on this thread.
