Mets Close to Deal for Erik Bedard

A number of sources are reporting that the Mets are close to a deal that would send Phillip Humber, Aaron Heilman, Ryan Church, and possibly Kevin Mulvey to the Orioles for starting pitcher Erik Bedard.

Meanwhile, over at Metsblog Matt Cerrone is reporting that the deal may involve a third team and Orioles' SS Miguel Tejada. This report is unconfirmed as well.

Remember this is just speculation, but a deal does seem close. This would be a fabulous trade for the Mets if they can manage to get the 28 year old Bedard without giving up Mike Pelfrey, Carlos Gomez or Fernando Martinez.

This deal may go down tonight, tomorrow, the next day or maybe not at all. It is kinda hard to imagine the Orioles will do anything with Bedard until after the Twins decide what to do with Johan Santana. But be sure to keep checking back as we will have more information as this story unfolds.

if i had to guess, that 3rd team is the SF Giants, and would involve the Orioles potentially getting Tim Lincecum in the deal...or Matt Cain.

That's a huge win for the Mets if that goes down, but I'd be surprised if it happens. Rotoworld reported that the Orioles turned down that same deal with Gomez instead of Church, a better offer.

I don't know all the prospects, more of an NFL guy, but are these guys the O's would be getting good?

well they would b big time pospects so its how they would take to b big league ready

Sounds a bit like the Miggy-d-train trade eh?

This obviously is false speculation because it was posted 16 days ago and it never happend, though it sounds like a good deal for both teams. The Mets would have to play Gomez in right if they get rid of Church. Then a rotation of Bedard, Martinez, Maine, Perez, El Duque would all but guarentee the NL East title. Hope it happens.
