I guiess I'm reading between the lines completely differently. My sense is that behind the scenes they've decided they're done with Bedard. No extension, no arb; they will let him walk and turn the page.
I don't have any evidence, only my impression, which could be way off. I just get the sense that Baker has been told as much off the record.
Believe it or not, I also get the sense that they are expecting a non-zero contribution from Carlos Silva in 10.
