Dodgers Interested In Jarrod Washburn?

Found June 21, 2009 on MLB Trade Rumors:
PLAYERS: Jarrod Washburn
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners

Jarrod_washburn_56_0956
MLB.com's Ken Gurnicksuggests Dodgers GM Ned Colletti is eyeing Mariners starter Jarrod Washburn, saying the lefty is "rumored on his radar."  Gurnick says Colletti left this weekend to scout his own prospects, perhaps to gather information for future deals. Washburn, 35 in August, has a sparkling 3.24 ERA in 13 starts this year.  His strikeout rate is up a touch, but his peripheral stats are mostly near his normal level.  So it appears to be a possible sell-high opportunity for Seattle.  On the other hand, the Mariners are only 2.5 games out in the AL West.  Washburn has about $5.9MM left on his contract, as well as no-trade protection.

Mariners truly gritted this one out

Via Seattle Times  |  June 21, 2009
You might have thought Adrian Beltre looked a little weak with some of those ugly swings taken earlier in tonight's game. Well, that's because he jammed his surgically-repaired left shoulder last night while diving back into second base while his team was hitting. Beltre's shoulder was so stiff that he could barely lift it pre-game, yet he took batting practice, then...

Arizona Diamondbacks at Seattle Mariners: 06/20 game thread

Via Seattle Times  |  June 20, 2009
Getting underway here on a chilly night that sees the Mariners going for their fourth win in five games. These guys really have to get some kind of prolonged streak going if they are to stay in this AL West race. Too many fits and starts all season. That's nice if you want to be a .500 team, which they pretty much are. If they're going to show something more, we've mentioned...
