Of course they could use a stud like Bedard, but trading Adam Jones (who is under control for like a million years at 400k) would be a massive downgrade the defense. Run prevention is what the Mariners need and defense is significantly undervalued when talking about this. The Mariners aren't one player away from making a run, so this deal doesn't make sense. Looking at the roster, this team cannot beat the Angels, Indians, Red Sox or Yankees with or without Bedard, so why hemorrhage the future for him?
