The contract is expected to have a base salary a fraction of the $7.75million Bedard made last season, and it would likely include incentive clauses.
He is rehabilitating in his native Canada following surgery in August torepair a torn labrum in his pitching shoulder. The normal recovery time for theprocedure would have him making his season debut in June at the earliest.
After two disappointing seasons with Bedard, Seattle no longer needs him tobe on top of a rotation that includes Cliff Lee(notes) and Felix Hernandez(notes).
