9 I don't know why Seattle would trade Washburn for Joba or Hughes. He has clearly outpitched both of them this year and there is no indication that either of them will be as effective as he has been. I know the Yankee fans will disagree but if they look at the numbers they will see that I am right. 6301758

10 Don't sweat it Yankee fans! The team you have is still going win the division without adding anybody. Hey Joezaza, With the M's owners being 51% Japanese , Ichi ain't going nowhere!! Mr Yamauchi takes care of his boys. Kenji Jojima 3 yrs $24 mil %?!!!! Big Jack Z would love to get rid of his contract. How 'bout Washburn, Brandon Morrow and Miguel Batista for Joba, Phil and cash ? 6303488

8 they should pickup a relaible reliever, send Hughes down to stretch him out so that when Joba runs out of innings, Hughes can step in. They still need a no 5 starter, though. 6300498

5 The Yanks should leave the team alone all they need to do is remove the stupid Joba rule and let him pitch!!!! 6298521

7 I disagree, Yanks need another starter, and an arm in the bullpen (lefty). I don't trust Marte even if he comes back. If Joba goes back to the pen, then I think two starters? But that's asking a lot. 6299178

1 These are the same Joba and Hughes that were deemed untouchable in a trade for Johan Santana? 6297599

4 OK - Yanks really need to trade for Halladay, but this would work if he doesn't move. I think the Yankees though should go for broke and see if they can work Ichiro into the trade somehow and include both Melky and Austin Jackson and Kei Igawa - just kidding on him, but why not see??? 6298408

3 Guys - read it again!!! Heyman is NOT suggesting the Yankees will do this. His report SAYS The Mariners ASKED for either Joba or Hughes. The Yankees did not offer those those two. The Yanks actually need two pitchers: One to replace Wang --->Mitre--->? The other to replace Joba ---> if the Yankees stick to there pitching plans for him - Beyond that Washburn is a fly-ball pitcher who would be at risk taking a regular turn in the Bronx"s Homer Palace. 6298111

2 Exactly. They're going to trade one of them for a washed up lefty when they wouldn't for one of the best pitchers in the game. I wish Heyman would post stuff when it actually happen instead of throwing s..t on the wall to see what sticks. 6297764

The Yankees haven't heard back from the Mariners since Seattle requested either Joba Chamberlain or Phil Hughes in an initial conversation about lefty starter Jarrod Washburn, but remain interested at some price. Mariners people are believed to be scouring the list of desirable Yankees players back in Seattle. Top outfield prospect Austin Jackson and catching prospects Jesus Montero and Austin Romine would probably also be off-limits in such a deal, but the Yankees have some other prospects that may interest Seattle. While Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik said on Wednesday that both sides are "open to it" in regard to the consideration for an extension for Washburn in coming months, a trade remains a very realistic possibility for the free-agent-to-be. The Mariners do like Washburn very much, however. Last year Seattle wanted center fielder Melky Cabrera and another prospect when the sides nearly consummated a deal for Washburn. But Washburn, 8-6 with a 2.71 ERA, has a higher value now. His $37 million, four-year contract expires after this year. The Mariners told the Yankees "we'll listen'' in an initial conversation, but talks have not advanced much beyond that point. The Yankees may be Seattle's best hope for a trade. The Dodgers are said by a person familiar with their thinking to be focusing primarily on relievers. Brewers GM Doug Melvin publicly suggested that they probably wouldn't consider rental players now. The Angels would have interest in re-acquiring Washburn, but there's a question as to whether Seattle would be reluctant to send Washburn back to his old team, a division rival. http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY
