Left out in the cold



After realizing they weren't players in the Johan Santana deal, the Mets turned their eyes to the Athletics' Dan Haren and the Orioles' Erik Bedard. They may only have one option left now.

The Orioles and Dodgers may be close on a deal that will send left-hander Erik Bedard to Los Angeles, a baseball source said. The O's are in need of a center fielder and a closer who can play at the major league level, and the Dodgers seem willing to part with outfielder Matt Kemp and reliever Jonathan Broxton, who could come in a close in lieu of Chris Ray, out for the year after Tommy John surgery. "They want Bedard bad," said the source.
