Trade Review: Mariners Ship Adam Jones for Erik Bedard
Look at that incredible picture of Adam Jones in that beautiful Mariners uniform. If you don’t shed a tear looking at that, then you aren’t a real Mariners fan.
February 8th, 2008, the day the M’s lost AdamJones. It was a miserable day in Mariners history. This is an account of all the unfortunate events that took place that day.
The Mariners traded a young rapidly developing centerfielder, an eventual All-Star closer, an eventual All-Star starting pitcher and two other prospects to the Orioles for a left-handed pitcher who struck a bunch of guys out one year. This was also the day I vowed not to attend a Mariners game until Bedard was gone.
