That is where rebuilding begins. It's hard to get proven, big time starters. They'd have a rotation of Halladay, Lincecum, Burnett, Marcum and Litsch. They could trade McGowan, Banks, Towers and/or Chacin for bats. I'd trade McGowan, Chacin and Snider for a big third base bat if I got Lincecum for Rios.

The Jays might be out of it if they get Lincecum. They'd have Halladay, Marcum, Litsch, Lincecum, Burnett and Chacin. The Mets' best offer can beat the Mariners best offer, even if he Mariners include Adam Jones. The Dodgers won't give up two needs (brilliant setup man and future brilliant closer, plus bats that they really need) for a lusty desire (an ace). The question is, how much will it take for the O's to want to trade Bedard? It seems that Omar's interest in Livan and Colon confirmed that he may be willing to trade Pelfrey. And rumor has it they want to replace Gomez with Martinez if necessary. All signs point to the Mets getting Erik Bedard.

He can opt-out next year. Its actually a waste to hold onto him if they can get something worthwhile back since they don't have a prayer this season in their division. And since Gomez is now a 'hot young prospect' that wouldn't be a bad return... How is holding onto AJ Burnett stock piling young hard-throwers. He can opt-out next year.
