It looks like the Erik Bedard sweepstakes are finally drawing to a close. The Baltimore Orioles are reportedly close to trading the 28-year old left-hander to the Seattle Mariners in a deal that would send top outfielding prospect Adam Jones to the Orioles. According to Luis Sojo, manager of the Lara Cardinals, a minor-league affiliate of the Mariners, Jones flew to Baltimore to take a physical today. Other prospects would also be heading Baltimore's way, possibly including two highly-touted minor-league arms in Chris Tillman and Tony Butler.
Bedard went 13-5 and posted a 3.16 ERA in 182 innings for the Orioles last season. He also struck out 221. He has a career record of 40-34 and an ERA of 3.83. Bedard has spent all four of his full MLB seasons in Baltimore.
