That tweet translates to: "Erik Bedard will sign a one year contract for $ 4.5 million premium over the Pittsburgh Pirates with the PM"
There have been no other reports that the Pirates were anywhere near signing him, and this source isn't exactly the most credible one, but there could very well be something to this. That price tag seems extremely small to me, I thought it would take a lot more to sign him than that, but who knows. Bedard is Canadian, so it would make some sense that a Canadian newspaper would be reporting this.
Don't get too excited yet, but this could be a huge signing for the Pirates. Bedard is the one guy I really wanted, and I'd be very pleased if the Pirates could bring him in, especially at just $4.5 million. We'll keep you updated.
