Say Hello to New York Jarrod Washburn & Maybe a Head Turning Good-Bye too.
May Be Kiss of Death for Pettitte in Last Year.

Reported by ESPN's Buster “The Knock Out Punch” Olney the Seattle Mariners are working with the Yankees on a Jarrod Washburn Deal, and may want Melky Cabrera and either Phil Hughes or Ian Kennedy, and purportedly insist on throwing in Joe Vidro along with the wash in turn for the Yanks throwing Kei Igawa to Seattle, at least according to SI-who may be more tool then trade.
SI’s Jon Heyman also reports that the Mariners are more interested in the Double A Trenton Thunder prospects than they are Melky Cabrera.
Now, what use is Jarrod Washburn to the Yankees? It may be a combo deal for Roy Hallady which would move Washburn to TOR along with some prospects as well, like Brian Bruney, Chris Bitton or Danny Giese all of whom have real MLB experience and are under 3 ERAs, and don’t forget Austin Jackson or Shelley “I can t hit it a mile in any dome” Duncan too.
The only sense that this makes is in consideration to the Yankees dumping “Halladay like money” that is Kei Igawa on a team that thoroughly enjoys and profits from the Asian Media, and may want a fellow Japanese player for Suzuki’s long term happiness – or Zen.
