The Mariners reportedly had scouts at the Red Sox' Triple-A and Double-A affiliates on Wednesday. Bedard is 4-6 with a 3.00 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 15 starts this season.
Bedard hasn't pitched since June 27, when he strained his left knee. However, Bedard will come off the disabled list on Friday, according to the report.
