He could have survived despite the bad deals if he was just willing to adjust when they didn't work out.

Thats not just some coincidence. Bavasi was going to get fired no matter what but rarely do GM's get fired mid season because you can't hire another GM to replace him until after the year anyway.

There's no way they would fire Bavasi for not putting Bedard on the market. To me, I think it would be suicide to shop Bedard. A lot of people out there saw Adam Jones as the savior of the Mariners franchise. To me, it would make sense to NOT trade the guy (Bedard) who cost you the future (Jones). But, that's just me. I think the reason Bavasi was let go was because in his what, 5 years, he put 1 winning team on the field. 20% success... 0% playoffs... I don’t believe the Bedard thing.

I heard Boras id pushing to get Beltre back to LA. If the M's wanted to keep and resign Bedard they would have never put him on the market. One of the reasons they fired bavasi in season was because he wouldn't trade Bedard.

I'm not a huge fan of him. 3. Where did you hear this? We still have him under contract for 2009. We trade him during the middle of that season if need be, but we should still go for a re-sign. 2.

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:30:07 +0000 http://www.bleedingblueandteal.com/?p=823#comment-2964 Welcome back! 1. Baek was traded to the Padres for Jared Wells 2. Churchill said there is no chance Beltre resigns here. 3. The Mariners are not going to resign Bedard so they have to trade him 4. Michael Saunders was called up to AAA 5. Greg Halman was called up to AA 6. West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx won their division for the 1st half. 7. Clement was called up with Wlad sent down. Clement will also be playing catcher a lot. 8. Ichiro was moved back to RF 9. Jeremy Reed was called up and is in a weird platoon with WFB in CF 10. After Mclaren was fired coaches ripped players for not taking extra batting practice, nobody being leaders and players being selfish. I think thats it. Welcome back!
