Tigers Acquire Jarrod Washburn

The Tigers acquired pitcher Jarrod Washburn for the Mariners, according to Mike Salk of ESPN Radio in Seattle. Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports agrees, saying the Mariners' pitcher Luke French and get a different perspective. MLB Network says the prospect is another pitcher Mauricio Robles. Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse (via Twitter) suggested the Tigers can not be done. They would like to add a hitter.

Washburn, a Scott Boras client and free agent after the season, as the project type B. If the offer of arbitration Washburn Tigers after the season and signing elsewhere, will result in a project selection. The risk is that it can accept and the Tigers are owed more than $ 10MM in 2010. Washburn has about $ 3.8MM left on his current contract, and the Tigers will presumably take it all.

Washburn has a 2.64 ERA in 133 entries this year, so if any action that keeps the Tigers will give a strong lead with three Justin Verlander and Edwin Jackson. The Tigers have a two-game lead over the Twins in the division, with each victory account.

Jon Heyman of SI reports that the Yankees are pessimistic about making a big change, with Washburn off the table.
