Bedard Wants To Re-Sign With Seattle

Erik Bedard has had season-ending surgeries in each of the last two years, which has clouded his future with the Mariners.

"I want to come back. I said that months before the surgery," Bedard said. "But I don't know what their feelings are now. I'm sure we'll talk at some point."

Bedard has started just 30 times in two seasons with Seattle.

Mariners May Have Lost Beltre For 2009

Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre may be done for the season after taking a one-hopper to the groin on Thursday.

Beltre is out indefinitely and manager Don Wakamatsu told the Seattle Times that he could need season-ending surgery for a bleeding testicle.

"It hurt pretty bad," Beltre said. "It was hurting me pretty much the whole game after that."

He doesn't wear a protective cup because he finds them uncomfortable.
