Washburn says no

[Kingdom]

He must be waiting for the Matt Holliday super contract offer from... the ... what? Royals? Nationals?

Free-agent pitcher Jarrod Washburn has turned down a one-year contract worth $5 million from the Minnesota Twins, two sources confirmed Monday.


Washburn was 8-6 with a 2.64 ERA with the Seattle Mariners last year, then was traded to the Detroit Tigers. He went 1-3 with a 7.33 ERA with Detroit, but the inflated numbers had mostly to do with the left-hander pitching with a knee injury.


Washburn is expected to be healthy for spring training.

I doubt if anyone else will offer more. He might come back later with a counter offer similar to this one.

If the Twins were smart they would offer Washburn another million dollars. Then the offer would be at 6 million a year, this should get him signed.

Twins fans, you guys want him that bad?

If the Twins were smart, they'd say "No take-backs."

They won't.

Whaaaat? Someone wants Washboard?
