Yanks, M's discuss Washburn deal

The Yankees and Mariners have begun trade discussions that could land lefthanded pitcher Jarrod Washburn in the Bronx, if the finances can be worked out. There is hope for a deal. But the talks could still be derailed by attempts to include some other big contracts in any potential trade. The Yankees are believed to want to send disappointing lefthander Kei Igawa to Seattle to offset Washburn's contract. Meanwhile, the Mariners could counter by asking that almost-as-disappointing designated hitter Jose Vidro be sent to New York along with Washburn.

Old story reported earlier. The bigger news is that they are looking at nabbing CC Sabathia from the Brewers in the off season, as the Brew Crew can't afford to keep him and his possible $135 million payday request...etc.

Washburn and Pettite would be a nice left handed combination. Hey Boston fans.....only 3.5 half back.

This trade is funny. One teams non performers for another teams non performers.

Kinda like trading syphilis for gonorrhea.

On a side note, did you see the obnoxious muts fans faces when their bullpen choked again last nite.........priceless. Kinda feel bad for Santana, awesome pitcher, but having that shitt bullpen behind him has gotta be killing him..........

Washburn has had a 3.03 ERA since May 25th, so there's a lot worse options out there.
