"According to John Hickey of the Seattle Post-Intellegencer, the Twins have "some interest" in dealing for left-hander Jarrod Washburn.
Hickey writes that the Mariners and Twins discussed a deal last week that would have sent Washburn and catcher Jeff Clement to Minnesota for 23-year-old outfielder Delmon Young."
I got this off of MLBtraderumors but it made me smile. As a writer you can't just make up stuff right?
As a Twins fan this does nothing for them. They have 5 starters in place with at least 2 guys in the minors ready to go. Have the best catcher in the league with a good vet backup. They have an all-star at 1B and Kubel is their DH who is left handed same as Clement. That and this past week the Twins signed Kubel to a multi year deal. And on top of all that why would the Twins of all teams take on a 10M contract? If they were willing to add that much to the payroll I would hope to god they would go sign O. Hudson, O. Cabrera or T. Wigginton to a 1 year deal.
I feel bad for M's fans if this is what they have to read everyday. Might as well say Beltre for Cain it's not going to happen but at least the other team could use the player your talking about trading.
