This is definitely true. I have a friend who is close to the Phillies and this is all they are talking about. The rumors are they won't even have to give up much to get them.
Sorry, not that excited about this.
Peavy is on the DL, and hasn't been a lights out pitcher this year. He's also been a bitch about deciding where he wants to play. Bedard struggles under any kind of pressure and is apparently a toad in the clubhouse.
And they both benefit from pitching in cavernous stadiums.
If they can get them for "nothing" I'll be a little more happy.
It's a done deal. Phils give up OF Jason Ellison and RHP Francsico Butto and get Bedard. To avoid potential locker room issues with Bedard Seattle has agreed as part of the deal to build an addition to Citizen's Bank Park which will include a private locker room for Bedard. Hey how about that Ruben Amaro Jr. huh? negotiating a trade that includes an addition to the stadium and two minor league B level players for the top pitcher on another teams staff is a pretty good day! This trade still has to be approved by Stienbrenner (who we all know is the real King of baseball) but my sources (a.k.a. Big Phillie) tell me this deal is almost a sure thing. The Phils are still talking to SD about Peavy and the hold up seems to be that the Padres want Hitting Coach Greg Gross and a case of soft pretzels as part of the deal and Amaro is having a hard time getting the pretzels delivered to CBP. Everytime the truck gets close Andy Reid runs out from the Linc and buys up all the pretzels. Keep your fingers crossed that Andy gets full and Rubin can finalize the Peavy deal today as well.

It started n the Dunn thread. And I didn't go too far. If I didn't make it obvious it was a joke I'd have some of the dimmer light bulbs thinking it was real. I won't be accused of spreading false information! By the way Vin, stop calling me to bail you out of jail after a night of drinking. I've already mortgaged my house to bail you out last week when you beat up that Dallas fan. (Oh don't worry about it, she deserved it!) Call MD the next time you get locked up - I'm tapped out!
