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.

Hottest Rumor!!!! Kei Igawa for Barry Zito. hehehehe. LMAO. Both are lefties, overpaid, and both suck. Send Kei Igawa to the Memphis Grizzlies or New York Knicks. He belongs there.lol

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

IF Igawa goes to Seattle and wins 20 games next year, thats it. I quit wanting anything to do with this game!

If Igawa pitches to Johjima or whatever his name is,,,, will they need signs? Or just yell out in Japenese?

July 23, 2008  06:32 AM ET

Hahaha. If he even wins 10 I'll leave the sport forever. Im an ANGELS fan but I like the Yankees. I hate boston an Tampa Bay just won't last. Good Luck Yanks.

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 **** bullpen behind him has gotta be killing him..........

It could be worse. I could be Melky.

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

Atro apparently lost a bet..... ouch! I guess Becca was due to win one this month, eh?
