Washburn Claimed

So says Ken Rosenthal.

Both Washburn and Ibanez were claimed on waivers Tuesday, according to major-league sources.

The claiming teams are not yet known, but Mariners have until 1:30 p.m. ET Thursday to work out a deal with those respective clubs.

This IS NOT going to happen.

because throwing away Washburn would make me happy.
And the 2008 Mariner’s are all about not making me happy.

Washburn was claimed and we're WORKING OUT A DEAL!?!?!?

Him being claimed IS the deal. We neither have to pay him nor look at him anymore. THAT’S the deal. There’s nothing to work out. Now RUN before the claiming team figures out what an idiot move they’ve made.

Is the catcher Johjima?

Cuz that would be hilarious.

I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.

They asked for the moon for Ibanez two weeks ago.

Precisely because of the draft pick compensation. Do you think it likely that they forgot between then and now?

I don't trust the M's FO to do anything right.

And I know you will reply with “new GM” but in the five years or so of following the team, they have always been fucking stupid and I simply don’t trust them and it will take a lot for me to change my opinion. I hope I am wrong and they are smart forever more.

I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

I'd do it if I were the Rays..nothing bad has happened to your team when the Mariners are involved.

Minus the Longo beaning and Pena getting hit by a fastball to the FACE!

I fucking hate you Mariners

Apparently a Mariner's beat writer

has called shenanigans…

Per Jason Collette, avid draysbay.com enthusiast:

I had breakfast with an AL scout this morning and he told me the Mariners had not put Ibanez on waivers. The scout has a message service that tells him whenever a player from any team is placed on waivers or made available for any reason (released, DFA’d etc.). Ibanez has not been put out there or he would know. His team, he said, would have put in a claim—as would most others around the game with a shot at contending. This same scout confirmed to me that Washburn was put on waivers last week. From what I’m hearing, I may have been pre-mature in writing that he’d already cleared them.

link? that he has been claimed by the rays

Longo=ROY. Friedman=Executive of the year. Maddon=Manager of the year. BJ UPTON IS NOT LAZY! ! ! Gabe Gross= clutch. David Price is the next big time pitcher.

Rays blah blah blah

We all know in our hearts, come Friday morning, Washburn and Ibanez will be wearing Padre camouflage.
