The latest from Churchill

Four-for-one, as reported Monday, consummated Thursday or Friday.

It seems that those with each club that jumped the gun did so because both teams knew that Seattle wasn’t going to improve their offer at that point, and both teams learned that Baltimore believed that offer met their demands.

That wasn’t going to stop Andy McPhail from trying to get more, and it wasn’t going to change the fact that Peter Aneglos did have to sign off on the deal.

But the same Orioles rep that gave me the trade offer details has told me Angelos has told McPhail he’s fine with the trade as long as extending Erik Bedard is not a realistic option at this point.

McPhail has apparently informed Angelos that extending Bedard is not the best route to putting a contending team on the field sooner than later, at least in his opinion.

All right, so…

- MacPhail has apparently been trying to squeeze more from the M’s, if so….I’m fine with the wait.

-Angelos is cool with this as long as we can’t resign Bedard.

-This offer is better (0r looks better) than the one the Twins got for Santana.

So hopefully by tomorrow, this saga will be done.
