Andy MacPhail told the Baltimore Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec today that teams other than the Mariners have "chimed in" on Erik Bedard. What is the goal of this public statement? To push the Mariners to up their offer?
MacPhail says he’s just having conversations with the Mariners currently. He’s been in touch with Peter Angelos and not much has changed of late.
Hard to say which other clubs chimed in on Bedard, if it’s true. I have heard that the Cubs haven’t talked to the O’s in over a week. Teams like the Reds, Indians, Angels, and Rockies could theoretically jump in.
