Bedard was my choice in the poll thread. I could totally live with him being their pitching acquisition if it comes to that.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

MLBN reporting this as well. He was also my choice in the poll, so I'd be quite happy if this turns out to be true.

Heyman just said on MLB Network that he "thinks" the Sox are getting him.

Edit: No link - there's nothing on his twitter feed yet.

Send C Federowicz to Mariners

[EddieYost]

He was my first choice too. Hopefully they got him (and for something reasonable).

[SoxScout]

Bedard was the runaway winner of the Who Do you Want poll: http://sonsofsamhorn...sp-acquisition/

[Rasputin]

I assume Federowicz going means Lavarnway isn't. That would be good.

I kinda hate trading for a guy with only one start and a crappy one since coming off the DL.

Sounds kinda like they had a deal for Bedard and were desperately trying to come up with something better and failed thanks to Harden's medical suckage.

[Carl Everetts Therapist]

Heyman just said on MLB Network that he "thinks" the Sox are getting him.

Heard that a minor league catcher and high minors pitcher were involved in the deal for Bedard....

All in all a good deal if they didn't have to give up a top 5 propect.

[ypioca]

Fed-X is a great piece to move IMO. I suppose this means they are putting their chips in the "Lavarnway as Mike Napoli" basket as well.

-edit: By that I mean his role, not necessarily talent (although I like his chances).

Edited by ypioca, 31 July 2011 - 03:10 PM.

[Rough Carrigan]

On MLB network John Hart said that after his last start, Bedard told their manager (Wedge?) that he just felt too strong; that's why he said his command was off.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

If Federowicz is really the piece moving, I'm thrilled with the price.

Wonder which Dodger(s) could be involved...

[SoxScout]

3-team deal Bedard for BOS: Federowicz, 2 other minor leaguers to LAD, Trayvon Robinson, Chih Hsien Chiang to SEA for Bedard,Fields.

If the Dodgers are involved, Kuo could prove awfully useful...

he would save the McCourt's about $1M for the rest of the year if he was pitching elsewhere.

Mariners flipping Federowicz, RHP Juan Robinson ancd Steve Fife for Trayvon Robinson

https://twitter.com/#!/GordonEdes/status/97762159357997056

[Rough Carrigan]

He's been terrible lately and was just on the DL for "anxiety disorder".

[nazz45]

Conflicting reports since Edes now has Stephen Fife involved with no mention of Chiang.

Have to say, hope Chiang stays even if currently blocked.

Also, Juan Robinson ... or Juan Rodriguez. I can't find a Juan Robinson anywhere.

Edit - I think Edes combined Trayvon Robinson and Juan Rodriquez. Robinson may end up with Sox. Big time power number at AAA but plays in PCL, i.e., hitter's league.

The Red Sox get Bedard and Josh Fields. #trades

[PedroSpecialK]

From all reports, sounding like it might be Fife, Chiang, and Federowicz for Bedard & Josh Fields. Perhaps Fifa/Chiang were the other "two prospects", as they are ending up in LA.

edit: Apparently we're getting Trayvon Robinson as well per Edes

Mariners then flip OF Trayvon Robinson to Sox

Three team deal per xm radio

[Sprowl]

https://twitter.com/...761024878456832

The three-way deal makes more sense for Seattle, since they don't have an immediate need for a catcher, while they desperately need bats. Chiang makes sense for the Mariners, given their appalling offensive deficit.

Three expendable prospects for Bedard isn't cheap, but given the Red Sox log jam in the upper minors, 5 prospects for Bedard and Aviles is a good roster turnover outcome.

[Seels]

I don't really see why this team needs yet another mediocre infielder. Josh Fields wouldn't have made sense yesterday, with Aviles on the team he really makes no sense.

edit: Oh, guess it's Seattle's Josh Fields. Still, he kinda sucks too, so what's the point?

Edited by Seels, 31 July 2011 - 03:23 PM.

[Gunfighter 09]

He's been terrible lately and was just on the DL for "anxiety disorder".

Considering the Sox current left handed relief options are either:

A. unwilling to pitch at the major league level
B. recovering from TJ surgery
C. Suck

He could be useful.

If the Dodgers are involved, it seems logical that their interest is in shedding dollars off of the big league payroll.

Looks like multiple layers here

[Carl Everetts Therapist]

Isn't fields a 3rd baseman or am I thinking of someone different

[SoxScout]

Wait, we are the team getting Trayvon Robinson? how did this happen?

[Savin Hillbilly]

I don't really see why this team needs yet another mediocre infielder. Josh Fields wouldn't have made sense yesterday, with Aviles on the team he really makes no sense.

Different Josh Fields. This is a minor league reliever with frighteningly bad control (6.4 BB/9 in mlb). I assume he must have awesome stuff.

[Joe D Reid]

I don't really see why this team needs yet another mediocre infielder. Josh Fields wouldn't have made sense yesterday, with Aviles on the team he really makes no sense.

Wrong Josh Fields, I think--SEA has the RP, not the 3B.

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Isn't it this Josh Fields?

Three expendable prospects for Bedard isn't cheap, but given the Red Sox log jam in the upper minors, 5 prospects for Bedard and Aviles is a good roster turnover outcome.

Beyond his bat and position, I would add Chiang makes a ton of sense because of the significant Asian-American population in Seattle.

[Carl Everetts Therapist]

who is LA giving up? something isn't complete about this deal's info as far as who's coming and going

[JohntheBaptist]

Still seeing we may have landed Trayvon Robinson too--that'd be real nice.

[BigMike]

Wait, we are the team getting Trayvon Robinson? how did this happen?

I don't think so, Gammons, and most of the other things I have read have Robinson going to Seattle.

I think boston only gets Bedard and Josh Field. That makes sense

[Hendu for Kutch]

Fields was a guy Seattle fans thought would be their closer very quickly after being drafted in the 1st round a few years ago, but he hasn't put it together. He's struck out over a guy an inning over his minor league career, speaking to his stuff, but his control has been putrid. If he could be straightened out, he could be a valuable bullpen piece in the future.

[SoxScout]

GordonEdes: Bos gets Bedard, trade Federowicz, Lin, Fife and Rodriguez. Dodgers get Federowicz, Rodrigiuez and Fife. M's get Lin, Trayvon Robinson

https://twitter.com/#!/GordonEdes

Gammo is saying Fields to us too.

[nazz45]

Haha, now Edes has Sox trading Lin, not Chiang. No mention of Fields. I give up.

You think Gordon just mixed up his Taiwanese player names?

Fields former 1st rounder pitching in relief for Tacoma?

[joyofsox]

Jon Meoli, Sox Prospects:

Per @pgammo, Sox send Federowicz, Fife, and Rodriguez to Dodgers for Robinson, flip Robinson and Chiang to Mariners for Bedard and Fields.

Interesting note--Erik Bedard's top 3 comparables on BR?

1. Ubaldo Jimenez (958)
2. Chris Young (957)
3. Rich Harden (957)

[Carl Everetts Therapist]

Haha, now Edes has Sox trading Lin, not Chiang. No mention of Fields. I give up.

the Red Sox get Bedard and outfield prospect Trayvon Robinson. The Dodgers get Tim Federowicz, Juan Rodriguez, and Steven Fife. Joshua Fields and Chih-Hsien Chiang went somewhere. We'll clear it up when possible. Conflicting reports for now.

This report has the sox getting Robinson not fields

[Alcohol&Overcalls]

Trayvon Robinson is actually kind of a lot to give up - #4/4-star per Goldstein. Which is why it seems almost impossible he's coming to Boston, too, although it would be pretty sick.

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Haha, now Edes has Sox trading Lin, not Chiang. No mention of Fields. I give up.

Lin. Chiang. They all look alike to Edes. I give up too. Gammo has it as Chiang, so that's who it likely is.

Wow, they did get Trayvon Robinson. Holy cow. Him, Bedard and RHP Josh Field for Federowicz, Fife and RHP Juan Rodriguez. Gathering details

Not sure who to believe. May have to wait for press conference to sort this out
