Three teams interested in LHP Jarrod Washburn

By Allan

Yahoo Sports Tim Brown says that three teams are interested in left-handed pitcher Jarrod Washburn including the Milwaukee Brewers.

Earlier this month, FOXSports’ Jon Paul Morosi said that the 36-year-old is considering a comeback.

“I honestly am very happy with my decision to not play (in 2010) and hadn’t thought of playing again until recently,” he said. “This past week I have already been contacted by a couple teams, just to gauge my interest in coming back, so that has made me think about it a little.”

The former Los Angeles  Angels and Seattle Mariners pitcher said he would like to play near his hometown in Wisconsin, so teams like the Brewers or Minnesota Twins would make since.

The Brewers might be the more attractive team to Wasburn, given the fact that their new manager Ron Roenicke is the former pitching coach of the Angels. Roenicke worked with Washburn on 2002 when the Angels won the World Series.

“Love him,” Washburn said. “Great hire for the Brewers. I think he will do very well there. Knew it was only a matter of time before he got his shot. He learned under one of the best in (Mike) Scioscia. Others who did that seem to be doing very well, in Joe Maddon and Buddy Black. I’m sure he will do great.”
