UPDATE: From MLB.com
"Various reports continue to link Bedard with the Mariners as Spring Training approaches. A source told MLB.com on Sunday that the Orioles have given up trying to obtain reliever Brandon Morrow in the deal, and would instead accept Mariners Minor League Pitcher of the Year Chris Tillman. Baltimore also apparently wants left-handed reliever George Sherrill included in the deal"
Jason Churchill is saying the Mariners offered Jones/Clement/Sherrill for Bedard and the Orioles countered asking either Triunfel or Morrow be swapped with Clement or there would be no deal. A source of Churchill also mentioned that he thinks Bedard will be introduced to Seattle by Thursday and that the mariners would cave on the deal but would prefer to include Morrow over Triunfel if they had too.
In my opinion with the pressure Bavasi is under to save his job he will cave and pull the trigger on a Jones/Morrow/Sherrill for Bedard deal.

Hang up the phone and don't call back...Deal done. They don't deserve Jones or Triunfel. Not for Bedard. Morrow and other fine. But not Jones and Bedard
i would give up clement, jones, sherill AND tillman for AJ Burnett. Hes musch better than bedard plus he can become a free agent sooner so the mariners can clear their payroll.
