Mariners Maneuverings

The Mariners are on the verge of signing Jarrod Washburn to a four year contract, worth about $9 million a year. There's a good FYI at the bottom of the article showing how Washburn declined the last four years. While he posted a very good ERA in 2005, it's mostly because the opposition hit very poorly against him with runners in scoring position.

The Mariners are also trying to acquire Matt Clement or Bronson Arroyo from the Red Sox for Jeremy Reed. There's also a story that the Red Sox may trade one of those pitchers for Coco Crisp. Either Arroyo or Clement seems to much to give up for either outfielder, so I wonder if Boston is making these inquiries to put pressure on Damon. When a club is not desperate to sign a player, they should be able to get a better deal.
