Curiously, the Yankees' own Web site has "to be announced'' where Sunday's pitcher is listed when previously it had been Sidney Ponson. A Yankees spokesman said that there was no reason to read anything into the Web site listing.

Seattle Times:


But the bigger news is the supposedly pending Jarrod Washburn deal to the New York Yankees. Just got done talking to Washburn in the clubhouse. He told me he spoke to his agent, Scott Boras, by phone two days ago and the pair went over the procedure that would take place in the event of a deal. What it boils down to is, Washburn has told Boras what he'd like as far as compensation goes for waiving his no-trade clause if dealt to the Yankees. The agent will verbally discuss this this with the two teams once an agreement in principle is reached. After that, once all final offers are on the table, Boras will phone Washburn and he'll say yes or no.

Players are so friggin greedy. I'm sure the agent, of course, has responsibility for Washburn making demands as well, but it's just silly that the Yankees or even Seattle has to give him anything. If he wasn't such a waste to them, they wouldn't be trading him

It does suck that he can't be a half year rental. He's gotta be taking up a big hunk of cash next year too. We do need to better that back end of the rotation and he is an upgrade though.

He's a big enough upgrade to warrant being on the hook for next year though.

From K-Ros

The New York Yankees have made an offer to the Seattle Mariners for left-hander Jarrod Washburn.

According to a major-league source, the package includes an average prospect, plus the absorption of nearly all of the money remaining on Washburn's contract.

But as of noon ET Sunday, with Washburn scheduled to pitch at 1:07 p.m. against the Toronto Blue Jays, no deal had been reached.

The Mariners spoke to Washburn Friday on about waiving his no-trade clause to the Yankees. The escalation in trade talks since then indicates that the pitcher is willing to pitch in New York. But at the moment, the Mariners want more than the Yankees are willing to give.

Washburn, who turns 34 on Aug. 13, is owed the remainder of his $9.85 million salary for this season, plus $10.35 million next season. Teams that take on that much salary rarely are willing to part with top prospects in the same trade.

The addition would give the Yankees a superior alternative to right-hander Darrell Rasner in their rotation. Washburn has allowed two earned runs or fewer in all but one of his last eight starts.

Austin Jackson playing LF today for Trenton. Some think this is so the Yankees can showcase Collin Curtis in CF for the Mariners.

Feck Seattle. They got stuck with a bad contract and we're offering to help them get out of it. They have NO right to ask for anything more than a subpar prospect at best, they should be thrilled to get an average one. :fyou:

It's sinful what Seattle is doing here. Maybe it's karma for Cashman being a dick last year and not giving Igawa to the Padres. When you have a bad contract and the other team is willing to absorb it, you say thank you and move on. What ingrateful practices in the executive offices of MLB teams.

Righto. Cashamn had a chance to weasel out of that contract but his ego wouldn't let him. Payback is hell. :no1:

If Cashman can in fact trade Igawa for Washburn wouldn't it justify him not just dumping him on the Padres because he would have gotten a useful major leaguer instead of a 26 year old AA player?

Seattle wants to dump Washburn's salary. It's not like they want Igawa. No credit goes Cashman's way.

We'd be stuck with Wahsburn at over $10mil next year, blocking Hughes and co... :peace:

Washburn could easily be traded in the winter or during spring training.

It might not be so easy, but I do want him for the rest of this season. If he had value, Seattle would be getting offers from teams and the Yankees wouldn't be the frontrunners offering Igawa.

The reason other teams aren't after him is because of the money. He's been pitching great for 2 and a half months, if there wasn't so much money on the line next year teams would be after him. Money is nothing to the Yankees. Hal Steinbrenner uses $100 bills as cum rags.

If he sucks we'll have to eat $6-$8 million to trade him. Nothing for the Yankees.

Word is Washburn wanted two more years extended to accept a trade to the Yankees. What a greedy piece of sh*t. Boras is lucky to be alive, I swear
