UPDATE: According to Jon Heyman of SI.com the NY Yankees called this weekend Washburn and were told they are not seller as of yet but that could all change.

Continuing from my previous post as said on both the Seattle Times and a Milwaukee newspaper. The Brewers and M's have or might be talking soon regarding Wash's future.
The Mariners are said to be interested in one of the Brew Crew's shortstops. JJ Hardy and Alcides Escobar.
Hardy does not make as much sense as this team seems to want to go the youth route.
Escobar AAA stats seem to make him a stellar fit for the 2 spot in the order behind Ichiro, and ahead of Lopez.
Here is a link to Escobar's AAA stats: http://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/players/cards/?pl_id=82861
The other team that has called regarding Washburn was the Yankees' who quickly started looking elsewhere after Jack Z is believed to ask for both Melky Cabrera and Brett Gardner (now on the DL with a broken thumb).
I will keep you updated as the day and week continues.
