Stark: Bavasi wouldn't trade Bedard. So Lee will?

This is listed as one of the reasons for Bavasi's firing, along with his refusal to fire McLaren. Now, that being said, if Lee is now going to try and trade Bedard, this brings up some interesting options. At that point, the M's would be looking for someone to either "Put them over the edge" or to solidify injuries. Teams that jump to mind are the Cardinals and Braves. Both are within reach of their respective divisions, and both need starting pitching. Bedard would be a definate upgrade.
I'd trade Bedard for Texiera (if a contract extension is worked out prior). If they'd throw in a pitching prospect (Cuevas?, James?), it'd be icing on the cake.
With the Cardinals, I can't come up with anyone plausible from their ML roster. Maybe Nick Stavinoha (solid LF), Barden (SS having a pretty good year), and Joe Mather (very good OPS guy) all in AA?
What a bath the M's will take if they trade Bedard. What realistic options are there?

Rumor has it the M's are looking at swapping Bedard for Colby Rasmus +....

I have no knowledge about Colby Ramsus
What kind of a prospect is he?
by BrianL on Jun 19, 2008 12:59 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
What's his ETA?
Looking at his numbers, he seems to be struggling a little bit at Memphis, but he’s still only 21 and his walks and power seem to be there.

His ETA was supposed to be now
but the entire OF is kicking ass.

and no you can't have him
a Ankiel/Rasmus/Ludwick OF makes me horny.

The outfield awesomeness, not the horny part

I wanted to but I can't
turns out we are worse when Pujols isn’t in the lineup.

Seriously? Rasmus?!?
The Cardinals would even consider that? That would be awesome. Certainly preferable to Felix Pie.

This would make me very sad
Adam Jones + very good others => Colby Rasmus + probably shitty others

How about to Baltimore
For George Sherrill, Adam Jones, and 3 other prospects.

We need CF, make them throw in Ankiel.
I like midgets more than I should.

That's very likely.
Why don’t we throw in Ichiro too.

Philly Is..
Most likely to inquire about Bedard. Not sure what Seattle could get that would help them if they did trade with Philly.

We'll throw in our middle infield if they give us theirs

Probably only in five years when Chase Utley and Rollins decline.

Anyone catch this part of the Stark article?
• Phretting in Philly: With the help of a number of clubs that have spoken with the Phillies, we’ve assembled this shopping list of starting pitchers it appears they’ve at least kicked tires on: Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Bronson Arroyo and (surprisingly) Jarrod Washburn. Bedard just hit the market, so you can add his name any minute now.

MARGINALLY TARDY BUT FORGIVEN SINCE IT WAS IN A DIFFERENT THREAD
But yes, we did discuss whether or not Philly would want to hold onto the ballgirl if they traded for Washburn

I'm not sure the East Coast jailbait fits Jarrod's tastes

They are 3 hours older on the east coast. Point taken.
I fucking hate you Mariners

Yeah, and we're not that lucky.
What would could the M’s get for him? Would we want whatever that is?
by TheEmrys on Jun 19, 2008 2:42 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
You couldn't trade Bedard for Teixeira straight up.
The Braves need Teixeira as much as they need Bedard. And Bedard’s value is tanking (has already).

Plus, you'd have to sign Tex to a contract for $Texas
which would have the potential of going all Richie Sexson on you.
kthxno. IF the M’s are going to deal Bedard, it should be for other positions than 1B.
