Erik Bedard to Red Sox.

I like this trade better than the Harden one. We're only giving up Federowicz instead of Anderson.

From Jayson Stark

No #Yankees deal before deadline. #RedSox have made at least one trade. Details shortly. #trades

Bedard is better then Harden but I really dislike his attitude. Awaiting the Lackey vs Bedard clubhouse brawl.

Very happy getting Robinson back in a Bedard deal.

From MLBTradeRumors.com

Details: the Red Sox get Bedard and outfield prospect Trayvon Robinson, the Dodgers get Tim Federowicz, Juan Rodriguez, and Steven Fife, and Joshua Fields went somewhere

Well the Mariners have now traded away every significant bill bavasi pick. Clement, morrow, aumont, fields...

And Ned Collettii continues to ruin this organization. Just continues my theory that god hates my sports teams.

Why would you jump in this deal for a ****ty catcher? Why trade a top 5 prospect on the team? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Re: 2011 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

Hitting refresh by the second on mlbtraderumors, because that just don't seem right. We give up lesser prospects than Lars to get a better pitcher than Harden, and end up with a better prospect in addition to Bedard??!!

Re: 2011 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

I keep hearing Robinson to M's and that makes more sense. Still waiting to hear for sure too.

Re: 2011 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

Not sure why Cleveland didn't get a bat. This team can't hit for crap and needed a bat more than a pitcher.

Re: 2011 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

3:14pm: This appears to be what's gone down, from Gordon Edes:

• Red Sox get: starter Erik Bedard, reliever Joshua Fields (both from Mariners)
• Dodgers get: catcher Tim Federowicz, Juan Rodriguez, Stephen Fife (all from Red Sox)
• Mariners get: outfielder Trayvon Robinson (from Dodgers), outfielder Chih-Hsien Chiang (from Red Sox)

Re: 2011 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

Dissapointed that the Tigers didn't pick up another reliever. Granted they picked up Pauley, but the bullpen is by far their biggest weakness, and they needed another arm with Al Alburquerque having some elbow issues at the moment.

Re: 2011 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

Seems like a great get for the M's for a rent-a-player in Bedard.

I don't think you are going to be any happier after reading this....

especially about the part where he projects as a major league backup. We already have 3 of those and we gave up our #2 position player in the minors to get him and 2 pitchers.

Re: 2011 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

Dodgers fans: What's up with Robinson's low SB output this year? He looks like a solid hitter, showing a lot of power this year (everyone in PCL is though), lots of K's. How's his defense? CF or corner OF?
