Bedard said towards the end of this past season that he'd like to test the free agent waters...that being said, at that point, he was under contract through 2008...

He's an ace star on a sinking ship and sees the writing on the wall. Best to get maximum value for him now and develop the arms you have. However, it looks like Angelos might get in the way of that, like he did back when vetoed trades of guys like Bonilla.
