Buzz: MLB Teams like Erik Bedard
…for what it’s worth, the buzz regarding Erik Bedard and the 
Mets has cooled significantly since the Winter Meetings…on other hand, it has seemingly increased for other teams…
According to a recent report in the Boston Herald, the Orioles want OF Matt Kemp, RHP Clayton Kershaw and 3B Andy LaRoche from the Dodgers for Bedard.
On the last day of the Winter Meetings, at ESPN.com, Jayson Stark wrote that Baltimore’s top two offers for Bedard are from the Red Sox and Blue Jays.
Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Reds ‘definitely have the talent’ to acquire Bedard, by offering RHP Homer Bailey, 1B Joey Votto, and another top prospect.
…i.e., Jay Bruce, who was recently listed as the top prospect in baseball by MiLB.com…
Lastly, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, citing ‘club sources,’ the Cardinals could consider trading their top prospect, OF Colby Rasmus, in a deal for Bedard.
…the thing is, there is more and more buzz from baltimore suggesting that the Orioles will first try to take advantage of the demand for bedard by bundling him in a deal with an ‘expensive contract,’ such as 3B Miguel Tejada or 1B-OF Aubrey Huff…
…if the Cardinals truly want to trade Scott Rolen, to me, it seems like a natural fit for them to bring on bedard and tejada, once rolen gets shipped out of town…
