February 6, 2010 The Seattle Post-Intelligencer confirms that free agent pitcher Jarrod Washburn is indeed considering retirement. Our View:For whatever reason, Washburn just isn't drawing much interest this offseason. It could be lingering worries over his knee, or a belief that his excellent first half of 2009 was nothing more than a contract drive. With the Mariners and Twins both seemingly out of the running for his services, it's unclear where, if anywhere, he has to go. |

February 4, 2010 Jarrod Washburn is reportedly considering hanging up his cleats if he does not get a favorable offer from the Twins or Mariners, according to Jon Morosi of FOX Sports. Our View:The 35-year-old lefty rejected a one-year offer from the Twins for $5MM last month. The Royals may have some interest in Washburn, but may not be willing to offer him enough money to pitch for the struggling franchise. |
|
February 4, 2010 Jarrod Washburn reportedly has not ruled out the idea of returning to the Mariners, according to Jon Morosi's (FOX Sports) twitter page. Our View:The veteran lefty only went 9-9 over 28 starts last season, but held a 3.78 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. He should prove to be a quality addition to the club that ultimately signs him, if not Seattle. |
|
January 26, 2010 Jarrod Washburn reportedly has a short list of desired landing spots for 2010, according to FOX Sports. Our View:Minnesota and Seattle are believed to be two clubs the left-handed hurler would like to take the mound for, and the list may not be much longer beyond that. The Cubs and Mets are in the market for starting pitchers, but it is uncertain if either has Washburn on their radar. |
|
January 17, 2010 Free agent starter Jarrod Washburn isn't likely to land a deal similar to Randy Wolf's three-year, $30 million pact with the Brewers, according to the Boston Globe. Our View:He is hurt by a collapsed market, and his own second half collapse from 2009. While most will likely write off his struggles to his knee injury, he isn't likely to fetch more than $5 or so million per year in a two-year deal. The Mariners and Brewers are both interested. |
|
January 8, 2010 It has been disclosed that Jarrod Washburn turned down a one-year offer from the Twins last week worth $5MM, according to the Star Tribune. Our View:Washburn's rep (Scott Boras) believes Washburn is worth more than Minnesota's offer. He carried a 3.78 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 28 starts with Seattle and Detroit in 2009. |
|
January 7, 2010 Jarrod Washburn has confirmed that the Twins are one of the teams he is most interested in signing with this offseason, according to MLB.com. Our View:"They are close to home. They have a good team, and have a chance to do things as far as winning, going into the playoffs," he said. "That's something I'm looking for." If the Twins can afford him, he would go a long way toward shoring up a rotation that routinely struggled in 2009. |
|
January 5, 2010 The Twins have made an offer to Jarrod Washburn and are awaiting a response sometime this week, according to CBS Sportsline. Our View:Washburn had a resurgent first half of the season with Seattle last year but floundered after being traded to Detroit and is 35 years old. Still, he'd surely be handed a spot in a starting rotation, whether he lands in Minnesota or anywhere else. |
