Jarrod Washburn Rumors: Dodgers, White Sox, Pirates?
By
Free agent pitcher Jarrod Washburn’s name has come up with a few teams including the Dodgers, White Sox and Pirates. According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports, neither the Dodgers or White Sox are in pursuit of the free agent.
“To my knowledge, neither team has shown interest,” Washburn said in an e-mail to FOXSports.com on Wednesday.
Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review says that the Pirates have no plans in to bring in Washburn despite the team’s injury problems in the starting rotation.
The Mariners, Royals and Twins have been mentioned as interested parties in the left-hander. Washburn also hinted at retirement, but that may be a tactic to build up negotiation leverage. You can see previous rumors about Washburn here.
