Jim Hendry's got a press conference going right now.

I find this to be a solid deal for both teams. Billy Beane must not think his boys can do it this year. Talk about a guy that's not afraid to pull the trigger.

Matthew's Edit for 75 words: As much as I want Bedard on the 2009 team, I'd be on the phone to St. Louis right now seeing how desperate they feel with Milwaukee landing Sabathia and Chicago nabbing Harden.

NHL in Seattle?

No I don't have an insider scoop to such a rumor but I did attend a Thunderbirds/Chiefs game recently and enjoyed myself thoroughly. The attendance was impressive, the noise was impressive...I wonder if there is a chance that the NHL might consider expanding into our fair city and if they would consider Key Arena a place that could support a NHL franchise?

Would you be interested/support an NHL franchise here? After seeing that game, which went into overtime and took the fourth shot of a Spokane player in sudden death to secure a 5-4 victory...I know I would.
