Rumors: Orioles' Bedard Traded for Seattle's Adam Jones

According to the Baltimore Sun, Orioles officials are denying reports that they have completed a trade sending left-handed pitching ace Erik Bedard to the Mariners for top young centerfield prospect Adam Jones and others.

Jones told the Seattle Times that he had been instructed to return from Venezuela and head to Baltimore for a physical. Unlikely other recent trade acquisitions, Jones appears more positive about the move, saying "You know, I like Seattle, but if I am in Baltimore, as I think now I am, I'm going to embrace it." That might not be the most positive endorsement, but it certainly isn't negative either.

Now a source is telling ESPN that the hold up in confirming the deal is...wait for it....Peter Angelos. Despite holding up the entire process by demanding that he confirm trades, Angelos is unavailable all day today on "personal business." Contrary to reports, I am not hoping he's off skiing somewhere and presently hurdling towards a very thick tree.

How are the strip clubs in Baltimore? Kinda risky trading for Pacman Jones, but you can't deny his talent.

Night Shift is great, and we've got a Hustler Club and a Scores that aren't bad either. We need the speed in centerfield, and all season long I heard about how great Pacman is at tracking the ball. He's got a reputation as a light hitter though.

Strips clubs in Baltimore are quite lame. Not like the illegal ones rampant in DC at all.

I was in New Orleans this past weekend. That's a city with surprisingly lame strip clubs. They're tops only, so it's the same crap I can see for free outside on Bourbon Street.

Well, you gotta be concerned about his agreement with TNA wrestling and the potential for injury.
