Jarrod Washburn has been traded to the Tigers . Details to come . .

Edit - Jarrod Washburn traded to the Tigers for LHP Luke French and High-A LHP Mauricio Robles. The deal is now official.

I texted with Jarrod after the deal was announced and he is excited for the opportunity in Detroit but will miss Seattle. It's no secret that he wanted to remain a Mariner so the news has to be bittersweet for him.

I was a vocal proponent for the M's keeping Washburn, especially if the return was a position player. Given that they got back two young lefthanders (one who is in the majors), how can we be too upset here? Luke French pitched well against the Mariners this year, giving up just 2 runs in 5.2 innings.

Don't know much about Robles, but I'm sure Jason Churchill will have details.

    Nice break!
    Love seeing my local station splashed across the internet, Mike. Nice job! You should really break it during your own show, though!

    Thousands of people across the country are tuned in to ESPN710 and he's not talking baseball??? Sigh. Give us the scoop, Mike! French and Robles, yes, but what's the inside? Who are these kids?
