Personally, I am not a Bedard fan but in the long run he may end up the better pitcher.

That is a terrible idea. First of all, if you are in a win now mode, you don't trade ace pitching. Adding Bedard would do a lot for the Indians but if you trade CC you totally negate that gain. Also, CC is the better pitcher now and will be the better pitcher for years to come. CC is also 2 years younger.
Also, don't toss out the 'big game pitcher' crap. He has a total of 21 1/3 postseason innings. Half of which were against the Red Sox, who s
cored 99 runs in 14 postseason games (7.07 R/G). That kind of a sample size means nothing.
