Found January 14, 2008 on Bleeding Blue and Teal:
Newest Mariners/Orioles talks regarding Bedard and Jones. The Mariners have offered Jones/Clement/Sherrill, and the Orioles are waiting on Jones/Sherrill/Morrow or Triunfel.

  • If I am Baltimore, I am jumping all over the Jones/Clement/Sherril package. It's superior to the puu puu platter that Arizona got for the equally talented and much healthier Dan Haren.
  • I'm usually in the camp of get the established player for prospects (see Pedro v. Pavano/Armas) and I still am here, but as an M's fan, it seems every combination I'm seeing for this deal has the Mariners giving up too much. I'm hoping for Jones/Clement/Sherrill. Bedard's too injury prone to give up much more.
  • It really depends how you look at it. I think Jones/Clement/Sherrill is actually a superior offer to Jones/Morrow/Sherrill, but the Orioles don't need Clement as much as they need Morrow. I have been on both sides of the fence, but if a deal is imminent I wouldn't mind sending Jones and Morrow or even Triunfel. We'd still have a great young core.
  • Baltimore's Organizational depth is at pitching... not position players, SO if I had to choose I would also take the Clement package. Worry about the depth at Catcher later... perhaps trade ramon after he gets off to a hot start and establishes some value, and maybe in a coulpe years Clement is a Fisrt Sacker.... and we are ASSUMING Weiters makes it... but (hopefully) a safe assumption
