Erik Bedard is no long a member of the Baltimore Orioles as he has been traded to the Seattle Mariners Friday afternoon.  Bedard has passed his physical so everything is done and over with after about a month of rumors.

In return for Bedard, the Orioles will be getting Adam Jones, George Sherrill, Chris Tillman, Kam Mickolio and Tony Butler.  Great young players that can step in and help out the Orioles.  I have a feeling that this trade is going to look really good in 2-3 years once these young guys get some more experience behind them.

Good trade for the Orioles I think.  I really doubt they could have signed Bedard to a long term contract, so might as well get something out of him now.  Great deal!

Daniel Cabrera has signed a new one year contract with the Baltimore Orioles that is worth just shy of $3 million dollars.  Cabrera will receive around $1 million more then he did last year.

Hopefully for Cabrera and the Orioles he will have a better year in 2008.  He has the stuff to be a good starting pitcher, he just needs to find his role and dominate like he is capable of.
