Everyone knows the reason he turned down that offer from the Twins was money. That's no secret. However, that was a really stupid decision, because now it's March, and no team appears to have all that much interest in him. He should know by now that he's not going to get very much money. He's waited too long. Meaning that if he wasn't wiling to sign for cheaper, he probably would have retired already. You could, though, be right about his plan. If that is really what he's trying to do, it could work, or it could completely backfire and he might end up having no choice but retirement. Only time will tell. Oh, no, I get it.

Jarrod Washburn plays baseball for one reason and one reason only: THE MONEY. He didn't take the Twins offers because he didn't feel they offered enough MONEY and that was for $5 million. Remember his comments last June -- when he said he thought that he was probably going to retire (coming into the year) but now was reconsidering. That was because he knew he wasn't getting a big payday coming off three miserable seasons in Seattle. Then when he had a decent half-season, surely Scott Boras told him he could get him another $30 mil deal from someone (so out with the retirement plans). I'm sure Boras and Washburn have a current plan that calls for him to sign with a team at the trade deadline, hoping to get $4-5 mil from a team anxious to add a veteran starter w/o giving up prospects... you guys don’t get it.

I dont think it's a move that will make or break the team either way but an added win is very valuable to a contending playoff team as you mentioned I never thought I’d say it either but it does make all the sense in the world for the Mariners to bring back Washburn to replace Fister/Vargas.
