I guess you could say that's a big reason the Os traded Bedard.

I think that the O's did the right thing. The guy is no doubt a top pitcher but has been an injury risk and they got a potential star to build around plus some pretty good prospects. Even a guy like Sherill has trade value at the deadline that they may be able to turn into another prospect. They cant compete this year or probably next anyway and signing big dollar FA's has not exactly worked out for them.
