Buzz: Dodgers and O’s close on Bedard
The Orioles and Dodgers ‘may be close on a deal’ that will send LHP Erik Bedard to Los Angeles in exchange for OF Matt Kemp and RHP Jonathan Broxton, reports Amy Nelson of ESPN.com, citing ‘a baseball source.’
Meanwhile, according to ESPN’s Steve Phillips, in a previous post to ESPN.com, the Blue Jays are ‘kicking the tires on’ Bedard, and could offer A.J. Burnett and Alex Rios.
…i don’t know, i keep catching more and 
more buzz suggesting that there is just no way the O’s will be able to sift through these offers and get a deal done for bedard by the end of these meetings…however, if they do committ to moving him, they’d like to do it sooner than later so they can move on to life after him, with ample time to react…
…one thing appears certain, the O’s require at least one major-league ready outfielder in a deal for bedard, and i would think maybin and kemp must qualify…
By the way, Nelson also writes that the A’s have asked the Tigers for Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller for Dan Haren.
