Here it is,
According to ESPN, the Seattle Mariners and former starting pitcher Jarrod Washburn are in active negotiations to bring the lefty back to the Emerald City.
Heading over to ESPN, “Washburn back to Seattle?” is an insider only article so I don’t know what it says.
Let's trace this
The Mariners, one of the most active teams in free agency, have re-engaged on Washburn, but he may head to the National League. The Brewers could have interest in the Wisconsin native.
ESPN:
Cafardo says Washburn is taking with the Mariners about a possible return to Seattle. The Wisconsin native also has been linked to the Twins and Brewers. He is represented by Scott Boras, so no deal will come easily.

But soci isn't implying it's the M's I think
merely that he’s in the process of being signed. Which he absolutely is.

I'd be fine with him one a 1/$4-$5MM contract.
The man himself wasn’t horrific like Silva, he just had a stupidly terrible contract.
He turned down 1/$5 from the Twins
so he probably wants more than that, which I’m against. Unless he just wants to pitch in front of the defense of awesome and would settle for less.

Signing a 1 year deal with Texas would be horrible for Washburn
He’s a flyball lefty. Pitching in the bandbox in Arlington on a one year deal would be stupid as his HR/FB ratio would be elevated compared to his career line which will raise his ERA. In order to build value (if he’s going to do a one year deal), he really needs to be in a bigger ballpark.
I should stop commenting when tired
Somehow I read “Texas” instead of “Twins.”
Don’t ask. I have no idea how I screwed that up either.
That's ok, I guess.
As long as he comes cheap, he’s still an upgrade over Vargas/random #5 guy… right?

Take it from someone who has written at Bleacher Report
Do not trust anything you read at Bleacher Report, unless by some chance I’m the one who wrote it (Griffin Cooper). Especially nothing written by “Jack Daniels”. He went to my high school, and he’s the definition of an arrogant moron.

Come to think of it, "arrogant moron" probably isn't even in the dictionary

Jack Daniels has never let me down before.

Wait, no.
That guy twisted a faint rumor into the decision that the Hawks are trading for Brandon Marshall.
He does things like that on a semi-daily basis

Holy shit
The Seahawks are trading for Brandon Marshall?? That Pete Carroll guy is all right.

No, I really just really like Bleacher Report.
Those guys really know the inside scoop and aren’t held back by annoying artificial constructs like fact or integrity.
When I still had a blog
they would routinely steal my stuff, post it (under my name), and allow various random people to edit it. Neat.
Yep
and for some reason I could never get it to stop. Back when they were getting started, they contacted me and said they’d like to do a link exchange, and I said I really a) don’t have the traffic and b) don’t do link exchanges, and about a week after that my stuff started showing up on their site. Which, fine, whatever, nobody read it there either, but the fact that they were community-editable at that point really cheesed me off.
I was surprised when I signed up to tell Mr. Jack Daniels that he was an idiot and it instantly was asking me to write an article
Apparently anyone can write whatever the hell they want there. Which isn’t really surprising I guess.
It's
Here. And he’s added “you can view this article on my personal blog”.

Cause we didn't sign Vladimir Guerrero, apparently.
Or Adam LaRoche, and we didn’t bring back Russell Branyan (cause oh-em-gee we need power).
I like this part
Adding Sheets would without a doubt give the Mariners the league’s best pitching rotation and the league’s best defense.
Apparently Sheets plays some mean defense too. How about that.

God Bleacher Report is horrible.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
