UPDATE: Ken Rosenthal is now reporting that the deal is almost complete and that only one player is stopping the trade from happening. He says the orioles want Chris Tillman but the mariners don't want to give him up. He mentions Triunfel and Sherrill as possibly being part of the deal.
According to Jason Churchill and Ken Rosenthal the Mariners and Orioles are getting closer on a deal for Erik Bedard. The only definite we know to be in the deal is Adam Jones and everyone else varies by who you listen too. There is no way of knowing how good Jones or triunfel or clement are gonna be in the future. It is a lot to be giving up for bedard but if they can get bedard to sign an extension the trade wont look too bad. The Mariners would be drastically improved with the addition of bedard, would it be enough to win the division who knows but for people who don't think they will just look at the Rockies. The Rockies were picked to come in last and they made it to the world series with Arron cook as their #2. All I'm saying is theirs so much parody in sports anything can happen.
In terms of Prospects let me throw a name at you Ruben Rivera. He was the #1 prospect in baseball and was supposed to be a cant miss star and look what happened to him. For all we know Adam Jones can turn out to stink and triunfel is only 17 so I'm asking to reserve judgment on the possible trade for a couple of years
