UPDATE 2: This team steadfastly refuses to complete trades in a timely fashion.
UPDATE: Jarrod Washburn has been traded to the Yankees. Not yet sure on the return.
Go to town.
We're headed to the eighth inning, with Seattle down 8-3, but on the bigger news front, we're hearing buzz that Jarrod Washburn might not make it to tomorrow with the M's. A trade with the New York Yankees appears imminent. We're trying to peer into the dugout to see whether he's still there. We'll have an update after the game.
FSN's reporting a Washburn/Vidro for Cabrera/Igawa rumor.
Jayson Stark:
Even Ibanez may not be affordable, however. Seattle hasn’t asked interested teams for specific names yet. But the Mariners are one of many clubs saying that, because Ibanez projects as a Type A free agent, they would want the equivalent of a first-round pick and a sandwich pick for him.
