Bedard, Royals: Could be a match made in ... Kansas City


Posted at 8:50 pm by By Kirby Arnold

Kansas City fans may put this under the label of “be careful what you wish for,” but it seems the Royals are interested in injured Mariners free agent pitcher Erik Bedard.

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports writes this piece, which should interest Mariners fans on a couple of fronts.

First, his lead item discusses Cuban pitcher Noel Arguelles and says the Mariners were among teams that are “hottest after” the 19-year-old left-hander.
The others are the Yankees, Rays and A's.

The Cuban we've heard most about this winter is left-hander Aroldis Chapman, the guy with the 100 mph fastball and, according to some reports, an occasional idea where it will wind up after he throws it. Arguelles could be a nice second choice for a team willing to pony up the money and give him time to develop.

Deeper into the Yahoo story is a short item on Bedard and the Royals' interest in him.

Before you chuckle too much about Bedard and the Royals, it's a matchup that makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Bedard hates the limelight, and Kansas City is as far from it as you can get and still be in the big leagues.

The first order for Bedard is to get his shoulder back in shape after surgery Aug. 14 to repair a torn labrum. Many pitchers haven't come back from such an injury, but there appears to be at least one team willing to take a shot at Bedard. Good luck to both of them.
