John Paul Morosi and Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports report that free agent pitcher Jarrod Washburn may be interested in playing for a team close to his native Wisconsin.

“The thought of playing close to home has always appealed to me,” Washburn said in an e-mail earlier this offseason, in reference to the Twins and Brewers.

The Brewers already have a rotation of Jeff Suppan, Dave Bush, Yovani Gallardo and Manny Parra, so Washburn could fill that fifth spot.

The Twins, even after signing Carl Pavano, are interested in Washburn, according to a source.
