  to work out a trade, and the Orioles called to inquire. The O's would have to put Cabrera on the 25-man roster, or else try to pass Cabrera through waivers themselves.  It would make more sense to carry Cabrera than Paul Shuey, so this shouldn't be a problem.

  Sometime last year, the Orioles offered Bedard a four-year extension worth less than $20MM.  That would've bought out one year of free agency.  Of course, Bedard passed.  The price since has gone up drastically, and will continue rising if Bedard can log several 200 inning seasons.  You have to think he'll take his big
