Buzz: O’s Turn Down Mets Offer
The Mets have offered Aaron Heilman, Carlos Gomez and Philip Humber to the Orioles for Erik Bedard, according to ESPN.com, MLB.com and MLB Radio’s Seth Everett, while on SNY.
According to the MLB.com report, “That offer was politely declined by the Orioles, who are believed to be seeking a package approaching what Minnesota is requiring for left-hander Johan Santana.”
O’s VP Andy MacPhail, as quoted by MLB.com…
“I think we’ve said it in every way we can…It’s not a question of really shopping him or trying to move him. But at the same time, our record is what our record’s been. We have a responsibility to our fans to try to make it better and take whatever we think we have to take to make it better.”
According to Everett, the Mets, Mariners and Blue Jays are the top three teams talking to the O’s about Bedard, while the Dodgers are also interested, adds MLB.com.
