Bedard is toughest decision this year. I really think it'll come down to the kind of trade value he has at the deadline and how far out the Ms are at the time.
Will teams give up a premium prospect for him, or is it Rich Harden type scenario where teams won't give up much even if hes dominating?
I'd really be nervous about handing Bedard a long-term deal, but its a logical strategic move if you can't deal him for good value. Hes willing to sign for a discount so you lock him up (hopefully with a ton of incentives).
What you don't want to do is let him walk into FA.
