ESPN is reporting that the Erik Bedard trade, reported to be "near completion" for days now, is giving the term "snail's pace" a new meaning.

Bedard was still at home Tuesday night in Ontario, Canada, according to the Baltimore Sun, a sign that the trade, which would send the Orioles' ace to the Mariners for five players, is still a day or two (or more) from being finalized.
