The other thing is Bedard's contract situation. From the looks of it, 2008 would be his third (and final) year of arbitration.
So he's a free agent in 2009.
Not sure I'd trade much for one year.
Here's the contract history:

I have a love-hate relationship with Albert Pujols. Mostly hate.
What about Hopper, Hatterberg,and a prospect for Dontrelle Willis and scott Olsen from the Marlins

He can opt out of his contract after this season, though.
He signed a 5 year $55 million dollar contract in 2005: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2249623
He got a bonus and the last 4 years are at $12 million per season.

Can he stay healthy and pitch 200 innings?
Matters on price... I'd give up any two prospects not part of the Big Four.
I agree. If they're trying to do a salary dump and you could get him without trading top prospects, I'd be interested in him as a one year rental. Longer if you could get him reasonably and he stays healthy, but mostly for next season.
Worst contract in baseball history.
If he was easily available id still do it
