hey everyone now that the mariners have fallen so far out of contention and their GM bill bavasi has been fired and today john McLaren has been fired, eric bedard is most likely on the trading block and i think that the rays should consider trying to trade for him and it wont be a rent a player type of deal since bedard cant become a free agent until after the 2009 season and i would do this deal for jeff niemann,jeremy hellickson and edwin jackson since they were interested in him early this offseason. i think that this could be enough for a deal to get done to get bedard and our rotation the rest of the year would be pretty good with sonny as the 5th starter where i think he would be better suited and have the rotation be kaz,shields,bedard,garza, and sonny. that rotation could bring some consistency to the rotation and the only weakspot in the rotation is whether or not sonny will pitch good or not.  also jason stark says that the mariners are just about willing to give up anyone on their roster not named jj putz, ichiro, king felix and he forgot to mention brandon morrow who i dont think they would trade either
