River Ave. Blues ยป Sunday Rumblings: A rumor out of Kansas City or just speculation? Plus, a Washburn update

Sunday Rumblings: A rumor out of Kansas City or just speculation? Plus, a Washburn update

The A-Rod/Hansen incident, explained
Hall of Fame Day

Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star writes about the Yanks’ supposed interest in Brian Bannister. He believes that the Yanks could swap Melky Cabrera for Bannister. This would be a trade of two below-average players making no money and wouldn’t serve to make either team better. Brian Bannister, in fact, is probably not an upgrade over Darrell Rasner. If this story contains more than just idle musings, I’d be surprised.

Update on Jarrod Washburn (1:15 p.m.): The game is underway in Toronto, and Jarrod Washburn is on the mound for the Mariners. It seems as though trade talks aren’t as close to completion as has been reported. If Washburn were anywhere close to being dealt, he wouldn’t be pitching today.
